A laila aia nā ʻano kauoha ʻē aʻe, hiki iā mākou ke wehewehe ma ke ʻano he "maʻamau", no ka mea hoʻohana lākou i ka format NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format), i wehewehe ʻia e ka NFC Forum no ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā tag NFC. No ka heluhelu ʻana a me ka holo ʻana i kēia mau ʻano kauoha ma ke kelepona, ma ka laulā, ʻaʻohe polokalamu i kau ʻia ma kāu kelepona. ʻO ka iPhone hoʻokoe. ʻO nā kauoha i wehewehe ʻia he "standard" penei:
wehe i kahi ʻaoʻao pūnaewele, a i ʻole kahi loulou ma ka laulā
wehe i ka polokalamu Facebook
hoʻouna i nā leka uila a i ʻole SMS
hoʻomaka i ke kelepona
kikokikona maʻalahi
mālama i kahi leka uila V-Card (ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ia he maʻamau āpau)
hoʻomaka i kahi noi (pili wale i ka Android a me Windows, i hana ʻia me ka ʻōnaehana hana pili)
Hāʻawi ʻia i ke ʻano transversal o kēia mau noi, hoʻohana pinepine ʻia lākou no nā kumu kūʻai.

Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā hōʻailona UHF RFID, loaʻa i nā tag NFC ka pōmaikaʻi e hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu maʻalahi iā lākou ma ke kelepona haʻahaʻa a kākau iā ʻoe iho me kahi noi manuahi (Android, iOS, BlackBerry a i ʻole Windows).
No ka heluhelu ʻana i kahi NFC Tag ʻaʻohe App e koi ʻia (koe wale no kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona iPhone): pono ʻoe e hoʻāla ʻia ka sensor NFC (maʻamau, ʻo ia ka hana ma ka paʻamau no ka mea he mea pili ʻole ia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pākaukau).
