The Research And Application Of RFID Technology In Mobile E-commerce

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a kind of non-touch automatic identification technology which communicates with wireless radio frequency signals. Since it is efficient, fast, and reliable and has the advantages of working in hostile environments, it is widely applied in data collection and goods identification fields. In pace with the economy development and technology improvement, RFID is more and more adopted in enterprises with a more important role. Furthermore, there are new requirements to the applications of RFID in enterprises such as the transformation from closed-loop to open-loop applications. And also, the requirements are more and more complicated. For instance, it requires the simple goods tracking to the ability of business data exchange and integration etc.Mobile E-commerce takes reliable mobile terminals to conduct business activities and administration works. It is not only a concept but also a kind of developing entity which will be one of the important elements in the future economy development. In 2008, the e-commerce trading size of China Mobile was 210 million RMB. In 2009, with the coming of 3G business era together with the starting up of wireless and traditional e-commerce companies, the estimated e-commerce trading size is 640 million RMB which increases about 205%. iResearch estimates that the trading size of e-commerce will reach 10.8 billion RMB in 2012 which has huge development potentials.This article focuses on the characteristics of RFID technology and the mobile e-commerce. By combining the feature of long-distance communication of the mobile technology and short-distance identification feature of the RFID technology, there are many new industrial applications and business models derived from them. This article firstly studies the development of mobile e-commerce in and out of China to show the urgency and importance of it. Then, it explains the fundamental development of the RFID. And it also compares the major existing RFID technologies. Thirdly, it states the design of mobile e-commerce system based on One-card Solution. It also describes the important business and services modules and it has special designs for security purpose. Lastly, it states how the solution was tested in some provincial operation systems. During the test period, the system worked well and all indexes met the design requirements and it reaches the estimated target. The research results of this article not only provide reliable theoretical and technical foundations, but also lay the foundation for further application and popularization of the mobile e-commerce which has good application future.
