Abstract:
An NFC configuration method. A controller sends data and a parameter of the data to an NFC module for storage or sends a storage space application instruction to an NFC module, such that storage space is reserved for data in the NFC module. Therefore, when data is sent or received in an NFC High manner, the sent data can be acquired from the NFC module or the received data can be stored in the NFC module without participation of a DH, thereby reducing load of the DH.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a connection handover method for near field communication, and further disclose a connection handover apparatus. The method includes: acquiring, by a zeroth terminal, idle connection resource information of the zeroth terminal; receiving a request message that is sent by a first terminal and is used for initiating a connection handover process or used for notifying the zeroth terminal that a connection handover process needs to be performed; and determining, according to the request message, that the following determining needs to be performed: determining, according to the idle connection resource information of the zeroth terminal, whether the zeroth terminal has an idle connection resource, if yes, sending a response message to the first terminal, so as to feed back connection configuration information of the zeroth terminal to the first terminal, and if not, skipping feeding back connection configuration information of the zeroth terminal to the first terminal.

A near field communication method and a near field communication device are provided. The near field communication method includes that a second device acquires a near field communication identification (NFCID) of a first device, where the NFCID of the first device carries first device type/device capability (DT) information, and the first DT information is used to indicate a device type/device capability supported by the first device; and the second device extracts the first DT information from the NFCID of the first device. According to the embodiments of the present invention, an NFCID of a near field communication device carries information about a device type/device capability supported by the near field communication device, so that exchanging or searching of a device type/device capability can be implemented by using the NFCID.

Abstract:
A method for near field communication (NFC) radio frequency communication includes acquiring, second configuration information of established radio frequency communication, where the established radio frequency communication is radio frequency communication that a second NFC host performs with a remote NFC endpoint using a near field communication controller (NFCC); and if the second configuration information matches first configuration information of radio frequency communication to be initiated by the first NFC host, sending, to the NFCC, an activate request command used to activate a radio frequency interface corresponding to the first configuration information, so that the NFCC activates the radio frequency interface and the first NFC host performs the radio frequency communication with the remote NFC endpoint through the radio frequency interface. The embodiments of the present invention provide a radio frequency communication mechanism for an NFC device under a multi-host architecture.

A method for controlling near field communication radio frequency discovery. The method includes: acquiring, by a first NFC host, state information used to indicate a state of a near field communication controller NFCC; and skipping, by the first NFC host, sending a first radio frequency discovery command to the NFCC if the state of the NFCC is non-idle; or if the state of the NFCC is non-idle, and a priority of the first NFC host is higher than a priority of a third NFC host, sending, by the first NFC host, a state resetting command to the NFCC, so that the NFCC terminates a current radio frequency communication process. The embodiments of the present invention provide a radio frequency communication mechanism of an NFC device in a multi-host architecture.

Abstract:
An near field communication (NFC) radio frequency communication control method. The method includes: instructing, by a first NFC host by using a second message, an NFCC to terminate, according to the second message, a radio frequency communication process currently executed for a third NFC host after the first NFC receives a first message used to indicate that a second NFC host requests radio frequency communication and when the first NFC determines that the NFCC is currently in a non-idle state and a priority of the second NFC host is higher than a priority of the third NFC host, where the third NFC host is an NFC host corresponding to the radio frequency communication process currently executed by the NFCC. This effectively avoids the problem that a conflict occurs when multiple NFC hosts request radio frequency communication from an NFCC in an NFC multi-host architecture, thereby maintaining system running reliability.
