The Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol (SNEP) is an application-level protocol suitable for sending or receiving messages between two NFC-enabled devices.
Previously, NDEF could only be used to NFC tags in reader/writer mode. Now, SNEP allows seamless interchange of data by enabling NDEF in peer-to-peer mode.
With the SNEP specification, consumers can configure their phone to automatically send business card information when an NFC peer-to-peer connection is established. The recipient then accepts the business card and allows it to be entered into his phone book.
Also, with SNEP, consumers can retrieve and store movie posters with NFC tags onto an NFC-enabled phone while passing by. The user can display the movie information on a flat-screen TV and navigate to the films web pages by tapping the phone to an NFC-enabled TV remote control.
