Device Connection

NFC

Introduction to NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables short-distance wireless communication. Through NFC's contactless communication, two devices can transfer data in real time when they are within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other. In addition to data transfer, NFC also allows you to share apps, top up transport cards, check balances, and make payments.

NFC can be used in multiple scenarios with different requirements and methods.
Point-to-point mode: Transfers data between two NFC-enabled devices within a short distance. No pairing is required and a more secure connection is established.
information

  • Both devices need to support NFC.
  • During data transmission, devices must be within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other.
  • Screen must be on and unlocked when using NFC.

Scenarios

  • Transfer files (such as images, apps, and contacts).
  • Quickly establish a connection between devices (like Bluetooth pairing or hotspot sharing).

Read/Write mode: Supports reading and writing NFC tags.
information

  • Cards and products must support reading and writing NFC tags
  • Read and write/P2P must be enabled on the NFC settings screen if available. This feature may vary depending on your network provider.

Scenarios

  • Use top-up apps to top up both physical and emulated transport cards, as well as to check balances.
  • Check product information with NFC tags.

Card emulation mode: Allows your device to act as a smart card so it can access mobile ticketing for public transport, mobile payments, and door entry.
information

  • SIM card emulation: First contact your mobile network provider to obtain a SIM card that supports NFC.
  • eSE emulation:
    • Huawei Pay-enabled bank cards: To make QuickPass payments on a QuickPass-enabled POS device, add a bank card to Huawei Pay that supports QuickPass.
    • Huawei Pay-supported transport cards: A virtual transport card must be added to Huawei Pay.
  • HCE emulation: For example, UnionPay Cloud QuickPass. First download the app for your bank card and associate your card with the app. For details, consult your bank's customer service centre. Then enable NFC, set a specific bank app as your default payment app in NFC while keeping the screen on and unlocked. To make Cloud QuickPass payments, your card and the POS device must support QuickPass.

Scenarios

  • SIM card emulation: Allows the SIM card provided by your network provider to act as a transport card.
  • eSE emulation: Allows NFC's embedded security element to facilitate payments (such as in Huawei Pay).
