Accessing Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) Sensor data for Native applications
PUBLISHED
What is Heart Rate Monitor Sensor?
The Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) sensor measures a person's heart rate in real time.
Tizen provides interfaces and methods to manage sensor data from various sensors on the device. The main purpose of a sensor is to provide a value for the relevant parameter. In native application development, accessing the gear’s Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) sensor data is quite straight forward. The main obstacles with reading from the HRM are getting the right permissions and utilization of Sensor API.

Tizen NFC Card Emulation Mode
PUBLISHED
Introduction
Near field communication (NFC) is a form of contactless communication between devices or between a device and a chip/tag. Using NFC, a user can transfer/receive small amount information from a short distance (example, 10 cm).
Card-emulation mode, as the name suggests, makes the device behave like a contactless smart card. Using this mode we can develop virtual credit cards, debit cards, transit cards, and access cards. In this tip document, sample code from a Web app is shown for understanding.
