941765 - [B2G][Gaia][NFC] UX for NFC Tag Discovery and Tag Lost

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Garner Lee]

Currently, when a NFC tag is discovered, and removed, there's nothing really planed on how to indicate the the hardware has detected either physical action.

The NFC manager code currently will simply vibrate to indicate presense on tag discovery and lost. There is no other visible reaction aside from MozActivity launches.

This feature is very similar, but distinct from the P2P interface design, which does device interaction, and not tag interaction.

Also, discovery and/or lost should also reset any sleep timer for the screen (it currently does not).

Walter, do we have the UX when the tag is discovered/lost?

Comment 3

[Walter Chen[:ypwalter][:wachen]]

I don't remember any :P 

I remember only "sharing video/image", "settings", "vcard", "speaker", "shrinking UI", "URL", and "wifi".

Juwei,
Do you have any ideas abt this? orz

Hi Juwei
Do we have any UX related to tag/P2P discovered/lost?

Thanks

Wo do have a vibration to indicate that NFC tag discovered/lost, and no general visible reaction for it. It is because I believe the visual reaction should depends on what type of the NFC tag is. For instance, open an URL tag or pop out an notification for wifi tag are pretty much like an visual reaction for tag discovered/lost.

Thanks, Juwei.

We already do 'vibrate' when detecting/undetecting tags and P2P devices.
(in Bug 860910)
So I'll close this bug.

Thank you, Yoshi!

Comment 8

All, just one thing left: should the timer for the screen timeout be updated if a tag or P2P session is started?

Comment 9

[Yoshi Cheng-Hao Huang [:allstars.chh][:allstarschh][:yoshi]]

ni? for Juwei for Comment 8.

Comment 10

[Juwei Huang[:juwei]]

The timer should be suspended if a tag/P2P session started, which means once two devices paired/ a device is reading tag, the screen should not turn off.

Thanks for Juwei's input for UX.
Currently Gaia didn't update the timeout value for screen timeout when a NFC tag/device is detect.

Filed Bug 975268 for this.
