Publishing and discovering information and services for tagged products

摘要: Radio frequency identification (RFID), and more recently the development of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, have popularized idea linking real-world products with online information services. Apart from early prototypes, however, benefits such automated technologies so far been mostly available to industry, rather than consumers. With next generation mobile phones capable reading both traditional bar codes through their integrated cameras, as well RFID tags using NFC standard, end-users themselves could take full advantage ubiquitous labels, given novel architectures that go beyond simple web pages or industrial enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This paper presents an open lookup infrastructure allows commercial, public, private entities easily provide services associated tagged items, thus facilitating rapid deployment applications based on everyday products.
