Method and system of communicating personal health data in a near field communication environment
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting and receiving data by a Near Field Communication (NFC) manager in a NFC environment, the method comprising:
- reading, by a processor of the NFC manager, a first NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message from a NFC tag embedded in a NFC agent;
checking, by the processor, a direction flag in a control field of the first NDEF message; and
when the direction flag of the first NDEF message indicates that the first NDEF message is directed to the NFC manger, writing, by the processor, a second NDEF message in which the direction flag indicates that the second NDEF message is directed to the NFC agent.

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.

8. A Near Field Communication (NFC) manager for transmitting and receiving data in a NFC environment, the NFC manager comprising:
-
a communication interface; and a processor configured to; read a first NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message from a NFC tag embedded in an NFC agent, check a direction flag in a control field of the first NDEF message, and when the direction flag of the first NDEF message indicates the first NDEF message is directed to the NFC manger, write a second NDEF message in which the direction flag indicates that the second NDEF message is directed to the NFC agent. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
