A method, apparatus and computer program are disclosed, which receive information from near field communication for a near field communication application or service, using a protocol stack containing an SNEP layer, SNEP referring to a simple near field communication data exchange format exchange protocol. A short message is received from a mobile telecommunication network. A near field communication extension message is identified in the received short message. The identified near field communication extension message is passed to the near field communication application or service via the SNEP layer in response to the identifying of the near field communication extension message.

Method and apparatus for expanding field of near field communication

A method, a computer program product, a mobile terminal, and system are provided. For example, the method includes receiving a work plan comprising at least one work item with a mobile terminal, wherein the work item includes an initial location of at least one identification device. The method also includes reading identification information contained on the identification device with the mobile terminal and identifying a deployed location of the identification device. Moreover, the method includes providing the identification information and the deployed location such that the work plan can be updated.

Mobile terminal, system, computer program product, and method for updating a work plan

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, mobile device comprises a battery, a short-range wireless communication (SRW) chip set, a secure element incorporated into the battery, and a bootloader, wherein the SRW chip set is configured to sense proximity to a point of sales terminal and, in response, initiate bootup of the mobile device, and wherein the bootloader is configured to determine that bootup was initiated by the SRW chip set and, in response, power up only the SRW chip set and the secure element.

Method and apparatus for battery with secure element

An approach is presented for transferring data via radio frequency (RF) memory tags. The UE manager receives a request, at a device, to grant access for interaction between a first RF memory tag and a second RF memory tag, the first RF memory tag associated with one or more trusted storage. Further, the UE manager determines an accessibility state of the first RF memory tag, the one or more trusted storage, or a combination thereof. Then, the UE manager causes, at least in part, granting of the access based, at least in part, on the accessibility state. The access is via a connection between the first RF memory tag and the second RF memory tag.

Method and apparatus for transferring data via radio frequency (RF) memory tags

An approach is presented for performing a multi-role communication using a Radio Frequency (RF) memory tag. The control manager receives a content request, at a memory tag, from a first device according to a first access policy. Further, the control manager determines one or more sources of content data responsive to the content request. Then, the control manager provides access from the one or more sources to the memory tag according to a second access policy. The access facilitates transmission of the content data to the first device according to a third access policy.
