Collecting data and making profiles of users are easier than ever before.

Mobile payments and smart lock systems of the mobile telephones are really nice things, which can make payments safer, than ever before. And they can also collect information of the user by a more effective way, than ever before. That software can tell the surveillance operator when the targeted person is near the home and also it can collect information about the merchandise, what is bought from shops.

That information would tell precisely, what the user of the telephone is buying from the shops, and if that person would get some medicines from the pharmacy, that thing would tell also the medicals and another kind of things to the owner of the service, and even the person uses cash for the payments, would the system collect the details of the shopping. The system might use the NFC-antenna of the mobile telephone, and then it can combine the information, what the security devices collect from the RFID-sensors.

The security gate of the shops would scan the data from the RFID sensors when the products are carrying through it, and send that information straight to the mobile telephones NFC-antenna, what will send that data to the surveillance operators. By connecting that data to the mobile telephone, those persons can make a very sharp profile of the persons, who they are searching.

When we are thinking about the surveillance software like Firewire, that software can also make possible to use NFC without a person sees anything in the screen. When we are thinking about the interface of smartphones, those switches, what are controlling the NFC and other things are only the images on the screen, and even if the image is moved to the position "off" would that NFC be on in the real life. And the thing is that the telephones can send information is the NFC "off" or "on"  to the surveillance operators.

The Firewire might allow that the security gates, what have right software would allow using the NFC or data transfer without the user of the telephone even notices that thing. But this kind of systems would make payments easier and safer. This is the thing in the point of view of banks and normal users of the payment solutions. The GPS system and fingerprint detectors can allow that if another person than the registered user of the mobile telephone touches or even move telephone, would the information of that action send to the security personnel.

And the fingerprints of the user can compile with the fingerprints, what are taken from the crime scenes. This would be made easier to track criminals from society, and this might make the robberies less attractive for the street bandits. That equipment can scan also fingerprints of the robberies, and that makes easier to catch them.
