NFC devices can transmit data in both active and passive modes. Based on the two transmission modes, the NFC device can have three working modes:

Point-to-point communication mode (P2P mode), that is, active-active mode. In this mode, both the data sender and the receiver must have active transmission and contain the power supply module. When NFC data is transmitted, data will be sent out actively from device A, and device B will actively accept it. Verification and authorization can be performed during data transmission in point-to-point mode.

Card emulation, passive-active mode. It is called the card mode because the actual application of this mode is very similar to credit card swipe, and the user's NFC device is equivalent to a credit card. In this mode, the user can confirm and complete the order by approaching the NFC card reader. The NFC device does not need to supply power during the whole process, which is equivalent to a credit card that encrypts and stores data by NFC technology.
