Abstract

Mobile coupon is an electronic ticket and is currently used for a financial discount and rebate. NFC is a short range wireless standard and has an advantage that the communication is very simple. In this paper, we propose a NFC-based mobile coupon for small traders and enterprisers. Since it is expensive for small shops to create and distribute their own coupons, NFC communication is only used to send the customer´s identification. Users can receive and check coupon information from their mobile phones. In addition, our platform provides some community service that the small merchants work together.
