NFC Enable/Disable

NFC Enable/Disable is a Launcher feature that enables or disables NFC access based on user login or application start.

Overview

NFC technology ensures secure wireless transactions among devices near each other. It enables users to do various tasks such as connecting to other devices, making payments, and sending files, media, or even NFC tags. It also provides businesses with greater opportunities for achieving customer engagement and improving brand awareness in new innovative ways. NFC Enable/Disable is a Launcher feature that enables or disables NFC access based on user login or application start.

User Guide

NFC technology allows secure data transfer between devices that are in close proximity, typically a few centimeters apart, with a simple touch. NFC tags can work without the presence of a local Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G, or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection. NFC Enable/Disable supports operational efficiency and creates engaging user interactions without taxing the battery or the need for pairing.

NFC Enable/Disable will occur during one of three timeframes:

1. When device is booted

2. Opening of an application or shortcut

3. After a session change (login or logout)

Feature Configuration

To set up the NFC Enable/Disable feature for a particular device profile or device group, please follow the steps below:

Enabling/Disabling NFC Feature

NFC Enable/Disable feature can be enabled or disabled within the Launcher configuration. If enableNFC is set to true for a specific application or shortcut, NFC will be enabled before the application is started. If nfcTurnOff is set to true, NFC will be disabled after the device is booted or during user logout. If nfcTurnOnAtLogin is set to true, NFC will be enabled on user login.
