A method for managing, by a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, connections between a plurality of devices through an NFC Controller (NFCC), the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the NFC device, to the NFCC, a discovery command for identifying one or more entities;
- receiving, by the NFC device, from the NFCC, a discovery response corresponding to the discovery command;
- transmitting, by the NFC device, a logical connection command for a logical connection between the NFC device and a particular entity among the one or more entities;
- and
- receiving, by the NFC device, a connection response corresponding to the logical connection command.
A Near Field Communication (NFC) device for managing connections between a plurality of devices through an NFC Controller (NFCC), the NFC device comprising:
- an NFC controller interface;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the NFC controller interface to transmit, to the NFCC, a discovery command for identifying one or more entities,
- control the NFC controller interface to receive, from the NFCC, a discovery response corresponding to the discovery command,
- control the NFC controller interface to transmit a logical connection command for a logical connection between the NFC device and a particular entity among the one or more entities, and
- control the NFC controller interface to receive a connection response corresponding to the logical connection command.
