For example, at least one additional dimension is added to a 2D data structure. Data may be encoded within multiple facets. Example embodiments of the multidimensional encoding include non-limiting examples of stacking or providing images or tiles in a very short period of time and moving a 3-dimensional object in space. In one example application, a number of distinct 2D data structures are presented over a time period in a .gif file.

A wireless power transfer device includes a wireless power transfer unit that wirelessly transfers power to a plurality of other devices and a notification unit that provides notification that wireless power transfer to a third wireless power transfer device different from a second wireless power transfer device is not available or provides notification that the wireless power transfer to the third wireless power transfer device is available in the case where wireless power transfer to the second wireless power transfer device is performed.

A first device in accordance with an example is placed in a predefined mode in response to removing a near field communication (NFC) tag from an NFC component of the first device. A request is received from a second device to establish a connection with the first device based on data stored on the NFC tag. The first device establishes the connection with the second device and executes the predefined mode.

A method for operating an RFID device is disclosed. In the embodiment, the method involves establishing a radio-frequency link, receiving signal samples of the radio-frequency link, determining the offset of an initial phase of the link by filtering noise from the signal samples, windowing the filtered signal samples, and calculating an offset value from phase differences between the windows of signal samples, and modifying a configuration profile based on the offset value. During data transmission the configuration profile can be used to configure the transmitter in order to maintain the constant phase during transmission.

The present device aggregates all kinds of contactless services such as credit card, loyalty card, micro-payment, discount card, transport card, access control, e-ticket, parking, etc. An NFC (Near Field Communication) device comprises a host CPU, a memory, a GPRS modem controlled by the CPU to access Internet, a SIM holder, an antenna and a battery. The NFC device is shaped as a credit card and it also includes a touch-screen, able to implement technical functionalities to operate contactless services, visualize his ticket/coupon and consult the latest transaction, a secure element to store and execute the contactless applications, and a ST controller connected to Host CPU and to the SE.

The method of the present invention refers to digital link. The method (101) identifies the user interaction (103) with a specific object (100). According to this interaction, the method (101) identifies characteristics or data on the specific object (100) which allow the method (101) to extract personal information and associate it with an output message (for example, a predefined text, audio message to be recorded, etc.) that will be sent to the target contact/user (102) (which can be another person, a group of people, a system/service, or objects in general). Since the contact target (102) is identified, a smart device associated with the method (101) triggers a preset action for the connection with the contact target (102). The method (101) allows the reception of target responses contact (102) enabling the user (103) to maintain communication with the target user (102).

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to secondary short-range wireless assist for wireless-based access control. According to one aspect, a method can include receiving, at an access control system, a first identifier via a near-field communications (NFC) reader associated with an entryway to an area. The NFC reader can receive the first identifier from an NFC component of a mobile device. The method can include receiving, at the access control system, a second identifier via a wireless transceiver associated with the area. The wireless transceiver associated with the area can receive the second identifier from a wireless communication component of the mobile device after the mobile device has entered the area through the entryway. The method can also include determining, by the access control system, that the first identifier and the second identifier constitute an authentication pair that identifies the mobile device as being authenticated to access the area.
