Abstract
Contactless smart cards are currently widely used to
discover and access city services including
transportation and access control. This paper addresses
the challenges faced by city service development when
city services are brought into Near Field
Communication-enabled mobile phones. From our field
work, we identify the requirements for city service
discovery and access through the dimensions of the
ecosystem, user acceptance, city service providers and
technology. We discuss how city services must fit into a
larger ecosystem and address possible value chain roles
through an example of the city of Oulu. To meet the
requirements of the desired city services', the
identification number-based architecture is identified
as a possible solution. The benefits of this approach for
city service discovery and access are discussed. The
constructive technical testing work is also presented to
corroborate the technical feasibility of a city service
on a mobile phone
