Dear Liang,

TapLinx is designed for Android based devices with built-in NFC controller/reader.

As from NFC Forum webpages:
The NFC Controller connected with an antenna transmits and receives all NFC communication frames of the NFC Forum Device. NFC applications which are initiating and managing the NFC transactions are either:
  • apps located in the Device Host using the NFC API of the operating system inside the NFC Forum Device or
  • are
    located inside an optional available secure element directly connected to the NFC Controller.

  • To support the implementation of interoperable NFC Forum Devices, the NFC Forum has defined the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) between an NFC Controller and the Device Host of the NFC Forum Device.


    Activation (Technology polling loop, anti-collision) of the Tag / Card is done automatically by NFC Controller. Then NFC Controller passes gathered info to the Host system (OS). Just one Tag/Card (UID, Tech info etc.) is handled through Intents by Android "dispatch system", as described here.

    TapLinx is designed to handle only one tag at the time.

    Application note you are referring to, is meant for NFC controllers/readers on which Host application has full low level control over it.

    Best regards,
    The TapLinx team
