Introduction I n t r o d u c t i o n Nokia Mobile RFID Kit enables you to use touch to automate different tasks in your Nokia 5140 phone. By touching Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, you can launch predefined functions in the phone (such as call dialling and web browsing) and store time stamped data in the phone. Nokia Mobile RFID Kit contains the following:
Two Nokia Xpress-on RFID Reader Shells
Two Java applications called Shortcut and RecordData
Tags to identify objects and tasks Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of small children. Nokia Mobile RFID Kit is only compatible with the Nokia 5140 phone that is available separately. For information about the Nokia 5140 phone, see www.nokia.com. Note: This Users Guide contains information and instructions for Nokia Mobile RFID Kit. For instructions on how to use your Nokia 5140 phone, see the Nokia 5140 users guide. For examples of how you can use your Nokia Mobile RFID Kit, see www.nokia.com/rfid. Introduction to RFID RFID technologies use radio waves to automatically identify individual objects. The most common method of identifying objects using RFID is to store a serial number that identifies the object on an RFID tag (also called an RFID transponder), and attaching the tag to the object. The RFID tag is able to transmit the information it contains to an RFID reader device. The RFID reader converts the radio waves returned from the RFID tag into a format that can then be passed on to an application in the phone. 5 Mobile_RFID_kit.book Page 6 Friday, May 14, 2004 6:02 PM I n t r o d u c t i o n To transmit data from the RFID tag to the RFID reader, Nokia Mobile RFID Kit uses the radio frequency of 13.56 MHz, which is the most widely used globally available frequency for RFID. Nokia Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell Nokia Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell contains the RFID reader that enables you to read tags with your Nokia 5140 phone. The RFID reader is located inside the lower part of the shell (dark area in the picture). The Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell also stores the Shortcut and RecordData applications, as well as a Cover browser application. When you install the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell, the Cover browser application is automatically downloaded to the phone, after which you can use it to download the other two applications. Both of the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shells in Nokia Mobile RFID Kit contain all three applications. Note: The Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell is only compatible with the Nokia 5140 phone. Do not try to use it with other phones. Do not try to open the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell. The RFID reader in the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell takes its power from the phone battery. Note that using the RFID reader may drain the phone battery faster. Shortcut application and RecordData application The Shortcut and RecordData applications are used for managing tag-
related information and functions in your Nokia 5140 phone.
The Shortcut application enables you to define functions that touching a tag will launch in your Nokia 5140 phone. You can define that when you touch a tag, the phone either makes a phone call to a predefined number, sends a text message using Short Message Service (SMS) to a predefined number, or connects to a predefined web site over a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) connection. 6 Mobile_RFID_kit.book Page 7 Friday, May 14, 2004 6:02 PM I n t r o d u c t i o n
The RecordData application enables you to store tag-specific information in the application each time you touch a tag. For example, in order to keep track of your travel expenses, you can attach a tag to the dashboard of a car, and store time stamped records of the beginning and ending of a journey to track mileage. In both applications, data is stored in the phone memory. Tags The tags provided with Nokia Mobile RFID Kit are used to identify objects and tasks. All tags have a unique serial number that the Shortcut and RecordData applications use to identify the tags. When taking a tag into use with an application, you associate the tag serial number with an object or task, depending on which application the tag is to be used with. You can use each tag with one or both of the two applications. This means that depending on which application is active in the phone, touching a tag can either launch a predefined task in the Shortcut application (such as making a phone call to a number you have specified) or make the RecordData application ask you to enter information that will be recorded for the tag. Nokia Mobile RFID Kit uses non battery-powered (passive) tags. Only tags that are compliant with the MIFARE UltraLight protocol can be used. Nokia Mobile RFID Kit contains two tags. If you need more tags, please contact your vendor for MIFARE UltraLight tags. Note: The tags may set off the Electronic Article Surveillance
(EAS) alarms used, for example, for theft-protection in shops. 7 Mobile_RFID_kit.book Page 8 Friday, May 14, 2004 6:02 PM I n s t a l l a t i o n 2. Installation Installing the Reader Shell and downloading the applications When taking Nokia Mobile RFID Kit into use, first install the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell to your Nokia 5140 phone. When the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell is installed, the Cover browser application is automatically downloaded from the shell to the phone. You can then use the Cover browser application to download the Shortcut and RecordData applications. Note: Before removing the phone cover, always switch off the power and disconnect the charger and any other device. Avoid touching electronic components while changing the covers. Always store and use the device with the covers attached. To install Reader Shell and download applications:
1. Remove the phone cover, and install the upper and lower part of the Xpress-on RFID Reader Shell as instructed in the user guide of your Nokia 5140 phone. 2. Switch on the phone. The Cover browser application is automatically downloaded into the Collection submenu of the Applications menu in the phone. Downloading may take a few minutes. 3. Press Start to start the Cover browser application. 4. To download the Shortcut or the RecordData application from the shell to the phone, select Shortcut or RecordData and press Select. The selected application is downloaded into the Collection submenu in the phone. Downloading may take a few minutes.
