Bridging SNS ID and user using NFC and SNS: Design of NFC and SNS based event attendance management system

Abstract

A smart phone and a tablet terminal with a NFC function are spreading by standardization of NFC technology. The authors are interested in the exchange support between the participants in the off-line meeting. The authors focus on participants' mutual communication in off-line meetings. It is rare to perform exchange in an actual meeting place, although there is a relation called a friend or a follower on on-line. This will be because of gap between identity on SNS and identity in the real world. The authors are interested in bridging the gap between the online identity and the identity in the real world. The authors are developing a system, which matches human on online SNS ID and a real person, using a smart phone or a mobile terminal with NFC technology. Our system will display the human relations on the on-line SNS, and connect a meeting and a meeting participant.
