Summary of TAPNLINK™ TNL-FIT203 ENHANCES USER EXPERIENCES WITH NFC 3-STROKE CONFIGURATION
IoTize's TapNLink TnL-FIT203 enables rapid, expert-free NFC 3-stroke configuration for appliances. Users connect via mobile phones in three simple steps: approach to read, modify settings in the app, and approach again to save changes. This method eliminates manual code entry, offers superior usability over LCD interfaces, and allows designers to generate iOS and Android apps instantly using free IoTize Studio software without coding.
Parts used in the TapNLink TnL-FIT203 Project:
- TapNLink TnL-FIT203 module
- NFC indicator on the appliance
- iOS or Android mobile phone
- Electronic design (appliance circuitry)
- IoTize Studio configuration software
IoTize’s NFC module allows designers to add NFC 3-stroke configuration rapidly and with virtually no expertise
IoTize’s TapNLink TnL-FIT203 enhances user experiences with NFC 3-stroke configuration, providing an easy and secure way of viewing and updating appliance parameters using iOS or Android mobile phones. With NFC 3-Stroke configuration, users update parameters of appliances or machines in three steps:
- approach the phone to the appliance to connect and read the actual configuration
- view and modify settings in the mobile app
- approach the phone to the appliance again to send the new parameters
With NFC, connecting mobile phones to appliances is automatic, intuitive, and secure. There are no addresses or codes to enter; just place the phone within a couple of inches of the NFC indicator on the appliance. The connection is established, data is read, and the appropriate app is launched instantaneously. Appliance users view and modify settings more easily with their mobile phones than with an on-board LCD-based user interface. Settings can even be stored and recalled for later use.
With TapNLink TnL-FIT203 appliance and equipment designers can add NFC 3-stroke configuration rapidly and with virtually no expertise. Designers simply connect TapNLink to their electronic design and configure it. The free IoTize Studio configuration software does the rest and automatically generates apps for iOS and Android mobile phones. No coding is required.
