(Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Tomohiro Hagiwara), working on application and system development for smartphones and tablets, has a product called "Dynapick" which uses a tablet or monitor device in conjunction with NFC (Near Field Communication) to deliver varied content from a single NFC tag. !!!Development Background !At the Smartphone and Mobile Expo 2013 held at Tokyo Big Sight on May 8th-10th, Aquabit Spirals Inc. demonstrated “iPad with NFC”, being delivered dynamically varied content on an iPad from a single static NFC tag.

!Features of Dynapick !Aquabit Spirals Inc. developed Dynapick as a way to deliver content from a single static NFC tag, that can be in concert with content displayed on a tablet or monitor. With this feature, for example, 5 types of store information in combination could be displayed on digital signage at the same time, allowing coupons and such for each to be delivered via a single NFC tag. !Typically, Dynapick requires only a general seal-shaped static tag, but not any special hardware like a dynamic tag system. And also cables, power cords, or physical connections to information display terminals are unnecessary, so it can be placed anywhere. Further still, the information display terminal itself doesn't require NFC technology. iPhone, iPad, digital signage, tablets without NFC, Mac or Windows machines, TV, and large monitors can be linked. !Dynapick was announced at Tokyo Big Sight Sept. 25th-27th in the NFC themed corner of the "15th AutoID & Communication Expo". !!Dynapick Use Cases !■ large monitors in stores can deliver linked content with displayed various information or videos to NFC-enabled phones

■ any content selected on a tablet or digital signage can be delivered to NFC- enabled phones directly

■ selected information on an iPhone (contacts, URLs, images, videos) can be delivered to NFC-enabled phones directly ! !!!!!!!!!
