Repeat visitors during a fourmonth trial will be able to check in(在旅馆登记) using their phones before arrival and have their phones activated(激活) as "keys".They will then be able to unlock the door by holding the phone next to it.
The shortrange radio technology,known as Near Field Communication (NFC),is expected to be built into smart phones in the coming years.It is also expected to be used for ticketing and card payments.Assa Abloy said it wanted to test the system before expanding(扩展) it to other hotels,commercial buildings and homes.
Greger Johansson,who works at research firm Redeye,said NFC is hot technology in the mobile phone market.But he said few models have used it so far and it will take "several years" before it becomes widely used.
The head of Assa Abloy's mobile keys department,Daniel Berg,said that those who took part in the trial may find it cumbersome(笨重的) to have an extra mobile phone.But once people have the technology in their own phones,he said,it will save them time at checkin and improve safety.He said the phone technology works with existing radioenabled locks,so hotels can continue giving key cards to visitors who don't have the new technology in their phones.
