Abstract
An application running on portable information handling system automatically inventories the portable information handling system to identify one or more components that perform one or more functions based upon information embedded in a barcode. For example, a barcode affixed to an information handling system identifies the information handling system as having a near field communication (NFC) device. The application searches the portable information handling system to determine if the portable information handling system has a NFC device and, if so, presents an activator at a display to use the NFC device to communicate with the information handling system NFC device.
