- a —wireless cellular network— communication connectivity standard (ECMA-340, ISO/IEC 18092:2013) that allows people to tap onto or near things with an NFC-enabled device which is typically a mobile phone providing the power by means of emitting radio frequency magnetic fields that will without further ado launch installed native apps or contact servers on the Internet to load remote apps, software services or any type of media enabled by any of the Internet protocols that enables the World Wide Web to function.
- a tapping gesture between two devices brought together or within ~4-10 cm (~2 in) of one another creates a magnetic field that enables data exchange between devices.
- a tap may occur between two mobile phones, between a mobile phone and an NFC tag or between some other type of NFC enabled device such as a wearable created for tapping on NFC tags.

by default using a powered device such as an enabled mobile phone to tap upon or near another enabled phone or other type of enabled device will automatically exchange data between the two devices.
by default using a powered device such as a mobile phone to tap upon or near an unpowered element such as an NFC tag enables data stored on the tag to automatically be read and parsed by the powered device.

synonyms:IoT,RFID

NFC requires an powered NFC-enabled device such as a mobile phone or other enabled device which create the magnetic field of induction.
NFC requires an unpowered NFC element (tag).

n·f·c· tag

/'n/ /f/ /c/ tag

a small flat metalic ribbon antenna attached to a tiny integrated circuit (IC) comprised of a tiny chip which uses non-volatile RAM to store data.
a tapping gesture between two devices brought together or within ~4 cm (~2 in) of one another creates a magnetic field that enables data exchange between the NFC tag and the device used to tap the tag.

synonyms: IoT, RFID

NFC tags are unpowered.
NFC tags require a powered NFC-enabled device to function.
Typical Near Field Communication (NFC) tag.

tap·li·ca·tion

/,taplə'kāSH(ə)n/

a crafted or modified object integrated with surface mounted or embedded electronics, namely an electronic sticker aka an NFC tag.
a network communication any place in cellular space by means of an NFC tag and generally but not neccessarily, a mobile phone or a wearable device and the use of Internet Protocols.
making a tap gesture upon or near the NFC tag using an NFC-enabled device initiates the taplication’s network communication.
creating taplications is automated by tapABILITIES so people may create, modify and manage their taplications on an ongoing basis.
a taplication generates an audit trail each time its NFC tag is tapped.

synonyms: objet d’ art, IoT

Taplications require an NFC tag.
Taplications require an NFC-enabled device to interact with the tag, typically but not neccessarily a mobile phone.
Taplications do not require installing apps.
Taplications do not require Wi-Fi.
Taplications do not require Bluetooth.
Taplications do not require an external power source.
Taplications may be used outdoors typically within -20°C (-4°F) to 50°C (120°F).
Taplications may be used while tags are immersed in liquids.
Taplications may be used while tags are embedded in non-metallic solids.
Taplications may be surfaced mounted onto metals.
Taplications can load software from the cloud, any server or apps installed on the NFC-enabled mobile device.
Taplications can function for a tag’s life span typically specified as ten years but may live longer depending on environmental circumstances.
