The NFC Forum and the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) released the Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing Using NFC document, which provides developers with examples of how to implement Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) using NFC to take advantage of both technologies in the same device. Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing Using NFC describes the interaction of Bluetooth technology and NFC during SSP in detail and provides examples of both negotiated and static handover in the most feasible use cases involving both technologies. Developers will find the examples useful guides for their own work, including: pairing devices with little or no user interface (such as headsets and pedometers) to smartphones; pairing devices with extensive user interfaces (such as cars) to smartphones and pairing devices such as TVs and smartphones to share photos or to use the phone as a remote control.
