"Touchanote" which displays notes in Evernote associated with touching objects "Touchanote"

For example, when you do not know how to operate a household appliance, simply touch that appliance with a smartphone, you can immediately read and read the instructions and operation memos stored on the net Android application linking with Evernote "Touchanote"is.

As a mechanism, various memos and data can be recorded, shared, and retrieved immediately from various smart phones, personal computers, and browsers "EvernoteIt is a very simple thing to link the information in the NFC tag with the information in the Evernote and immediately call up and display the data previously associated in Evernote. "Evernote Developer Competition Final BattleWinning, winning the first prize, there are ideas and uses are excellent.

You can see a rough overview of what it feels like by watching the movie below.

There is also a movie that explains how to actually use it, and if you look at it, you can see how to link NFC tags, Evernote, and Android-powered smartphones.

The application itself is provided free of charge at Android Market, and it can install from the following.

It is a mechanism to sell dedicated NFC tags and generate revenue, and you can purchase from the following site.

It is 3 dollars (about 230 yen) for 1 sheet, 10 dollars (about 766 yen, about 76 yen per sheet), 25 dollars (about 1533 yen, about 61 yen per sheet), including shipping fee .

What is called "NFC" of the NFC tag is one of the non-contact short-range wireless communication methods used for Osaifu-Keitai etc. It is easy to understand from the following commentary.

What is NFC? - For NFC (FeliCa, Mifare) for engineers NFC Developers' site for development support
http://developers.orangetags.jp/words/nfc

NFC (Near Field Communication) was established and standardized in ISO / IEC 18092 as a common upper communication method of FeliCa (Felica) and Mifare (My Fair). NFC is a wireless communication standard developed by Sony and NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) and is a common standard / standard for non-contact IC cards as the next generation international standard.

By making the application compatible with NFC, the following effects (example) can be obtained.

Advantages of introducing non-contact IC card (simple operation only by consumer, quick response speed, less abrasion and product failure, added functions to applications (P2P communication function, Bluetooth handover function, WiFi pairing function, etc.) ))
It is possible to build applications that do not depend on IC card standards (FeliCa, Mifare, etc.), and can handle different communication standards.
Cost reduction (such as wasteful development cost reduction such as selection of optimum IC card from the aspect of use, function and cost, development using common infrastructure, development of correspondence to different standards, etc.)

Increase in NFC reader / writer compatible products that can communicate with both FeliCa and Mifare even in Japan. Development environments such as API and SDK (software development kit) are also in place, environments that can easily develop systems and applications compatible with NFC are in place.

By linking NFC and smart font, we are beginning to open up a way to utilize it individually like this "Touchanote", and in the future it is expected that the following will be possible as well.

For example, this is how it is. When the driver goes out the authentication process is executed without putting the NFC smartphone on the door of the car, and the lock is automatically released. When placing the NFC smartphone on the dashboard, it cooperates with car audio and car navigation system, and automatically sets the driver's favorite music and the destination automatically. After driving, when the driver leaves the car, the car sends the information to the NFC smartphone. Even after leaving the car, you can check the information on gasoline remaining amount, fuel consumption, etc. and the position information where the car was parked on the display of NFC smartphone.
