McDonalds começa a experimentação de RFID em Coreia
McDonalds está experimentando com o linha-buster final em Coreia sul, onde os clientes compram o alimento em seus telefones da pilha, que soam então quando a ordem está pronta.
Mas esta experimentação é muito mais um esforço de RFID do que uma experiência móvel tradicional. A maioria das potencialidades das comunicações do telefone e de sua exposição são usadas mal, com os clientes que têm que download uma aplicação de McDonalds em seu telefone.
“Em cada tabela, há um leitor de RFID e um menu que tenha microplaquetas internas de RFID. Os clientes plug o leitor em seus telefones móveis e apontam-nos no artigo no menu que desejam comer ou beber,” disseram uma história nos tempos de Coreia.
“The bill is charged through the mobile phone. When the meal is ready, the system sends a short message to the phone so the customer can pick up the ready tray at a designated counter.”
The trial is being managed by McDonalds and South Korea’s SK Telecom, which has dubbed the effort the “Touch Order” menu. It was unveiled at McDonald’s Shinchon branch in western Seoul near Yonsei University.
The McDonalds trial is interesting, if for no other reason than it is demonstrating yet another way to deploy mobile commerce. Some use the phone’s calling capabilities and screen while others leverage the phone’s digital camera to do some 2D barcode-selling.
Payments can be handled through the cell phone’s number—as McDonalds is apparently doing in the South Korea trial—or through an embedded RFID chip, which turns the smartphone into something akin to a contactless credit card.
The McDonalds trial does this one step better, using an RFID interface through a physical plug-in but not at all for payment.
