See report from gizmag.

I’m really wondering how Apple could get a patent? The process is described already since years:

  • Telenor’s mobile key (mkey) project (2002-2003)
  • Implementation of NFC reader as plugin to mobile phone. Developed by EPSYS and Telenor R&I in 2004.
  • Masterthesis at UNIK/UiO on “mobile key“, presented 5. September 2006
  • Opening doors through NFC, field test with farmers near Zürich
