Nfc; Nfc Detection Area - Sony Xperia S User Manual

NFC

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets you
exchange data with other devices, pay for goods using your phone, and scan special
tags that give you more information about a product or service. You can share tags that
you scan. You can also create your own tags and use them to send information to other
NFC-compatible devices such as phones.
The tags you can create include contacts, URLs, map locations, or text. To scan or
share a tag, you have to hold the NFC detection area of your phone right over the tag or
next to the NFC detection area of the other device. The maximum reading distance is
about one centimetre, which helps prevent unauthorised communications.
To turn on the NFC function
1
From your Home screen, tap
2 Find and tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
3 Mark the NFC checkbox.

NFC detection area

The location of the NFC detection area is not the same on all phones. When sharing data with
another phone using NFC, refer to the User guide of the other phone for more information.
To share a contact with another phone using NFC
1 Make sure that both your phone and the receiving phone have the NFC function
turned on and that both phone screens are active.
2
To view contacts in your phone, go to your Home screen, tap
Tap the contact that you want to share.
3
4 Hold your phone and the receiving phone back to back so that the NFC detection
area of each phone touches the other. When the phones recognise each other,
they both vibrate and the data transfer starts.
5 Separate the two phones immediately after they vibrate.
6 When the transfer is done, the contact information is displayed on the screen of
the receiving phone and is also saved in the Contacts application.
Separating the phones immediately after they vibrate prevents repeated connection attempts
that could interfere with the data transfer.
