In an era of booming smart entertainment, NFC technology is injecting new vitality into various smart entertainment devices with its unique advantages.

Taking the gaming field as an example, Nintendo’s Switch game controller has excellent NFC application experience. The Switch console supports the use of multiple controllers with different functions, and those controllers equipped with NFC chips can be paired with the console simply by bringing the controller close to the corresponding NFC tag sensing area on the console.

Thanks to near-field communication technology, the pairing connection can be completed instantly without the player having to manually set up complicated Bluetooth pairing processes, making it quick and convenient for players to dive straight into the exciting games.

In terms of smart speakers, some of Sony’s smart speaker products cleverly utilise NFC technology. When users want to play music from their phone through the speaker, they simply need to touch their NFC-enabled phone to the NFC tag on the speaker, allowing the phone to quickly connect with the speaker, and the music seamlessly switches to play through the speaker, easily achieving content sharing.

Moreover, for multiple family members using the speaker, user identification can also be done through the NFC tag. Each family member can bind their preferences, such as preferred music genres and volume levels, to a specific NFC chip, and when in use, the speaker only needs to recognise the corresponding NFC chip to automatically switch to a mode that matches that user’s habits, providing a personalised listening experience.

These successful cases fully demonstrate the powerful role of NFC tags in smart entertainment devices, as they not only make interactions between devices more efficient but also greatly enhance the user experience, strongly driving the smart entertainment industry towards a smarter and more convenient direction.
