rlocone Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hello All, I'm thinking of getting a Galaxy Nexus phone from Sprint when it becomes available. This phone has an NFC chip in it. What I'd like to do is put a NFC chip on my desktop. Once my phone comes into range of my desktop it will unlock it. Is this possible? Haven't found anything about this on Google. Open your door locks with NFC http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/09/yale-lock-opens-doors-with-nfc-phones/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about NFC though - I can't see why not as they're very similar technologies. telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3b00tz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 You can do it, just gotta make sure your desktop NFC receiver works. The RFC stuff is already included in the Android sdk, it's just not been widespread enough for most of us developers to mess with it much, so howto resources might be scarce online. Other than that it's a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
