NFC use cases abstracted

Easy Connect
Connect easily with other devices (speakers, headsets)

Transfer
Transfer data/content between two devices

Get information, start applications, register to services with the simple touch of a tag

Services

Secure transactions

Your phone is your credit card and or Transit/Travel card

NFC Services APIs

API NFC Discovery API NFC Tag Extension API NDEF API NFC Peer-to-Peer API NFC Content Handler API Description Provides methods to subscribe and discover tags and NDEF messages. Provides implementation and access (read/write) methods for different types of NFC targets. Provides methods for handling NDEF messages and accessing NDEF messages on tags. Provides the LLCP API for peer-to-peer communications between NFC devices. Provides the ECOM plug-in interface for subscribing and receiving NDEF messages.

What is Qt?
Develop C++ code only once Deploy for multiple platforms with native look & feel! More than UI 23 modules, around 800 classes, 9000 functions Development tools: IDE, UI designer, help system, translation tool Maximum performance Native code on all platforms Still possible to use platform specific APIs!

Platforms
C++

Java Python Ada Pascal Perl PHP

Maintained by the Qt open source community. Not officially supported by Nokia.

Longer history than you might think

Focus on mobile platforms (Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo), dedicated mobility APIs Nokia purchases Trolltech Qt 4.0 leads to new KDE 4 desktop Qtopia platform for mobile phones & PDAs First public release through newsgroups (Qt 0.90)

Dual licensing: commercial & free for open source

Decided to go into business

Q looked beautiful in Emacs font. t for toolkit Company : Quasar Technologies (later: Trolltech)
Eirik Chambe-Eng Nord Haavard

Development started
Cross platform GUI toolkit was needed

Demo: Web Browser

Show web page with address bar and zoom slider Create UI using designer Setup project (.pro) for WebKit and networking support:
QT += core gui webkit network symbian { TARGET.CAPABILITY += NetworkServices ... }

Optional: setup proxy use during app startup

#include <QNetworkProxyFactory> QNetworkProxyFactory::setUseSystemConfiguration(true);

On clicked() signal of push button: load URL into web view

ui->webView->load(QUrl::fromUserInput(ui->lineEdit->text()));
