Abstract
Various techniques for the management and control of service operations using near-field communication (NFC) technologies are disclosed. In an example, a master computing system operates to identify a device configuration that enables a service operation upon a remote client device, identify an authentication value to authenticate permission to enable the service operation with the remote client device, and generate an NFC data payload including the authentication value and device configuration. This data payload is then provided to a client computing device that operates an NFC reader. In response, the client computing device processes and authenticates the payload, and enables the indicated service operation(s) within the client computing device. Further examples to conduct the NFC data transaction and perform the service operation(s) using active and passive NFC tags are also disclosed.
