Editor's Notes
- We’re using on-screen barcodes to show the ticket values for reading by automatic gates, or checking by the train guards who carry hand-held scanners.The ticket code can be transferred to the NFC element on compatible phones (like this nokia 6131) but this handset is the only mainstream GSM handset with NFC and we’ve not heard of others in the pipeline.Even when NFC services become mainstream, you will still need a secure interface to purchase entitlements, before they get transferred to the NFC element.
- This is circa end 2008 – since then, there are many more on left and one more on right. None on right have operator subsidies.Nokia are the most pro-active NFC handset manufacturer.
- [The screenshots above are animated, to show useful UI widgets helping the user to select from large lists, or input Credit Card numbers correctly]WAP and WEB services are Thin Clients ; good when you have a reliable, low latency connection. Mobile is not like that. – inside buildings, moving vehicles and in remote locations: connections are often dropped or unavailable.Mobile Java allows us to build FAT clients, and not just glorified mini-browsers!Applications should provide most of the interaction while OFF-LINE and then only require an occasional connection at the end to make transactions, or get updates.e.g. you should be able to review your bank account and create new payment instructions while on the metro, not only when stood still in good Here are screenshots showing how you can quickly select one station from a list hundreds long, and also how to perform local validation of credit card numbers before sending to reduce the number of unecessary network connectionsSMS Failover:Many users (more than half, we reckon) cannot make network connections from Java using WAP, because they need to switch to the correct INTERNET settings. To provide these users with an out-of-the-box instant purchase, the application can automatically detect the lack of functioning GPRS and switch to encrypted SMS instead.
- Credit Card details entered just once into the application.Users have said “easier to use the mobile purchase than web purchase” because of quick, optimised workflow.
