The shared bicycle introduces NFC unlocking, and the unlocking method evolves from the launching of the mobile phone-starting APP-scanning code to the direct "one stick". NFC is becoming more and more important. Why have mobile phone manufacturers not been waiting for it? Hammer Nut PRO, Meizu PRO7, and all OPPO and vivo... These phones are either NFC-free or NFC-only. They seem to have some disapproval of NFC technology.

The Galaxy Note8, which was released overseas overseas recently, will take some time to start selling, but we have already seen it in China.

On the 26th, Mobike bicycles released the Samsung Note8 test photos on the Internet, and announced that they will jointly develop a new smart lock with NFC unlocking function. In the future, users who use NFC-enabled mobile phones, including Note8, can unlock them automatically by simply “touching” the lock, eliminating the need to open the APP scan code or enter a password. At the same time, ofo Xiaohuang also announced that its new smart car lock will support NFC touch unlock...

As soon as the news came out, in addition to users sharing bikes, NFC technology "has been easy" and brushed a wave of "presence" - however, after the happy, then look back at the mobile phone market, equipped with NFC module The mobile phone is still a niche. Hammer Nut PRO, Meizu PRO7, and all OPPO and vivo... These phones are either NFC-free or NFC-only. It seems that there is no cold for "new technology", or even a little disappointment?

NFC has several very special advantages compared with the Bluetooth we are familiar with. One is that it can work without power. The other is that there is no need to manually pair and complete the transmission with one touch. The third is to communicate with only one device at a time, and The distance is short, the eavesdropping is difficult, and the security and confidentiality are high.

Because of this, NFC is widely used in the field of IC cards - including the bus cards we are familiar with, the meals cards of many schools, the access cards of the community, and even the tickets for some venues. It is essentially an NFC chip plus Composed of coils. They don't need a built-in battery, they can work by reading the card wirelessly when reading the card - is it "black technology"?

In fact, this "black technology" is not as fresh as everyone thinks: As early as 2006, Nokia launched the world's first NFC mobile phone, but because there is no function available, the market response is dull. By the Samsung Nexus S in 2010, Android has also begun to support NFC, and Google has also developed Google Wallet (Google Wallet), a program that uses NFC to emulate a bank card. That is to say, as early as 7 years ago, foreigners already had equipment that could carry out "mobile phone cashless payment"...

However, the equipment is there, but whether it is foreign or domestic, at that time, the development of related functions of "mobile phone NFC" has not received much attention: at that time, very few NFC-equipped mobile phones on the market will be accompanied by several "NFC tags". Users need to program themselves and specify the purpose of the label—for example, one on the desk in the office. Every time you go to work, the phone will be muted automatically. It is obvious that NFC is very troublesome to use at this time. The functions that can be realized are too simple, and naturally nobody cares.

A few years ago, the three major operators even tried to promote NFC technology - for example, China Mobile had issued "NFC-sim card". Even if there is no NFC-enabled mobile phone, you can implement the UnionPay flash or bus card function by simply replacing the card. However, compared with the current mobile phone NFC can simulate a variety of bank cards, bus cards, NFC-sim card function is very simple, can only use UnionPay services, only support local bus cards. Coupled with the concept of "Internet of Things" at the time, the market is not ready for mobile payments, and there is no such large-scale commercial promotion. Users don't even know that there is such a new business, and they need to replace the SIM card to experience it. In the end, the commercial failure of the NFC-sim card is not difficult to imagine.

In fact, the cost of the NFC module in the phone is very low - about a dollar, if you add a security chip dedicated to the card simulation function, it is only $5. But the market is not ready, the user experience is poor, even if the cost is lower, many mobile phone manufacturers can only regard NFC as a gimmick function at that time, only equipped with the top models, or completely to save costs. It’s no surprise that you cut off NFC.

It should be said that NFC's "re-population" in the past two years is largely due to the maturity of technology and the rise of offline payments... Because of the high-intensity mobile payment incentives, users suddenly found NFC phones. You can save money by not having to rush a bank card when you pay online; a powerful mobile phone manufacturer realizes that you can make a small profit through various "Pay" functions... The result is obvious, just look at the market. NFC's aggressive manufacturers almost all have their own payment business!

This result is a little bit frustrating - but at least for the user, it does get more and better features, and it is not a loss. For mobile phone manufacturers, the reason why NFC re-scented is not to cater to new technologies, but only for their own commercial interests - although not "high", but as long as the experience is not bad, there is nothing to criticize.

Interestingly, shared bikes are clearly much more popular than the “mobile payments” that are mainly for the wealthier. Moreover, compared to the progress from brushing the bank card to brushing the mobile phone, the unlocking method of the shared bicycle has evolved from the mobile phone-launching APP-scan code unlocking to the direct “one sticker”, and the experience of NFC is obviously greater. . So – for those mobile phone manufacturers who still think that NFC is not enough for the public, or because they have no interest in NFC, the sharing of bicycles to introduce NFC unlock will cause them to change?
