E-card. Continued
the Idea with the electronic card does not let me...
I had to dig deep at the docks, in order to understand how RFID labels, and how to work with them. But the task is done and how it was not so difficult.
Picture for printing on the card looks like this (haven't got the printer to print):
Although I had planned to make first Android app, but on reflection, decided that it is more appropriate to write an app to create these cards. Naturally it turned out a application for Windows with which you can record data in the label Mifare Classic 1K/4K.
We have this application:
Want to try? Download here.
Of course, to work with the application, that is, for recording business cards require a NFC reader. The idea is that the app should work with all NFC readers, but software has been tested only with the reader ACR1222U production company ACS:
Also, a logical extension of the creation of the cards was the writing of the application to read business cards and save it in vcf format.
We have this application:
Want to try? Download here.
The output is a vcf file that can be imported, for example, Outlook and other software working with contacts.
So came the idea to do a service on which you can store more information, for example, a picture, summary, interests, and so on... And this service is integrated into the app. This will allow to use cheaper labels, Mifare Ultralight, in which less memory, but additional contact information can be obtained from the service.
As before is working on apps for Android and Windows Phone.
Crept idea to develop a NFC reader for the iPhone, but so far this idea I drive myself, although somewhere in the brain itching that is very interesting to try.
In the process of writing, just thought to try to write a Credential Provider to authenticate to the OS login and password stored in the Mifare card, but that's another story.
