Blaze Mobile, said today that it has granted a patent for mobile, wallet and stickers, which allows consumers to wave their phones in front of the reader to pay cash for goods.
Blaze was one of the first proponents of mobile payments that has taken hold, thanks to a surge by the likes of Google, the issuers of credit cards, handset manufacturers and carriers. Blaze was also one of the first to embrace near-field communication technology that allows printing and the ability to pay.
Blaze has sold an NFC sticker on the back of the phone to connect and work together with the mobile wallet application of the company has processed the transaction. It 'been a dilemma simple solution of the few NFC phones on the market.
The CEO, Michelle Fisher, said the company's patented technology validates NFC tag, which said it has been reproduced by others without proper credit.
NFC stickers days, which were mainly used in the trials are likely numbered. Several handset manufacturers are committed to putting technology directly into their NFC phones. For example, using Google Samsung Nexus S, which has an NFC chip embedded in the device to test its function as Google Wallet.
