Method and system of communicating personal health data in a near field communication environment
First Claim
1. A method of communicating data by a first near field communication (NFC) device in an NFC environment, comprising:
- writing a first NFC data exchange format (NDEF) record including first control information into an NFC tag, wherein a value of a direction flag included in the first control information indicates that the first NDEF record in the NFC tag is sent from the first NFC device to a second NFC device; and
reading a second NDEF record including second control information from the NFC tag, wherein a value of a direction flag included in the second control information indicates that the second NDEF record in the NFC tag is sent from the second NFC device to the first NFC device.

Abstract
A method and a system for communicating personal health data in a Near Field Communication (NFC) environment are provided. An NFC manager sets control information in an NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) for providing synchronized communication of personal health data between the NFC manager and an NFC agent. The control information may include a direction flag, a state flag, sequence identifier field, and request/response flag. The NFC manager writes the NDEF format including the control information and payload data into an NFC tag associated with the NFC agent. Subsequently, the NFC manager reads the NDEF record stored in the NFC tag and determines whether the NDEF record is written into the NFC tag by the NFC agent based on the control information in the read NDEF format. Accordingly, the NFC manager repeats the above mentioned steps if the NDEF record includes payload data of the NFC agent.

11. A first near field communication (NFC) device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises a read/write module configured to; write a first NFC data exchange format (NDEF) record including the first control information into an NFC tag, wherein a value of a direction flag included in the first control information indicates that the first NDEF record in the NFC tag is sent from the first NFC device to a second NFC device, and read a second NDEF record including second control information from the NFC tag, wherein a value of a direction flag included in the second control information indicates that the second NDEF record in the NFC tag is sent from the second NFC device to the first NFC device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
