This paper addresses the field of mobile payment through Near Field Communication (NFC) and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). We report how we used the Inspirational Bits method to inspire the design of novel NFC usage scenarios and application ideas for ATMs in a joint industry and academia project. We describe a set of small applications exposing different properties of NFC (henceforth, referred to as NFC-Bits) and how they informed and inspired collaborative design ideas for different use cases. The NFC-Bits reveal a broad range of NFC characteristics in a playful manner. We outline some of the developed use cases and describe features of MyPocketATM, an application stemmed from these ideas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
