■ Introduction to RFID

RFID technologies use radio waves to automatically identify individual

objects. The most common method of identifying objects using RFID is

to store a serial number that identifies the object on an RFID tag (also

called an RFID transponder), and attaching the tag to the object.

The RFID tag is able to transmit the information it contains to an RFID

reader device. The RFID reader converts the radio waves returned from

the RFID tag into a format that can then be passed on to an application

in the phone.
