In which products are NFC tags and NFC chips integrated?
NFC chips and NFC tags can be included in many products - sometimes hidden and sometimes with appropriate instructions for use. For example, the following well-known items contain NFC tags: student ID card, ID card, smartphone, smartwatch, EC card, Nintendo Amiibo and some diabetes implants.
How can you recognize NFC products?
These are easy to find in everyday life, because all NFC products must either be placed on a reader or have close contact with it. A familiar situation is the payment process in the supermarket: It is often no longer necessary to enter the PIN; instead, the card can simply be placed on the reader for a few seconds and the payment is done. The scan of the Amiibo figure also shows that an NFC chip is contained in the figure here.
In cases that require placing or close contact of a product to the reader, near-field communication is often behind it.
