In order for the users to find objects more efficiently, one can mark {{UBIK}} can mark some objects with [[#Technical_background|certain properties]]. Whenever a user scans a RFID tag, the resulting ID value can be used to find all matching objects, namely objects that have the right property.
== Searching for objects Introduction: RFID & NFC ==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication NFC] stands for "Near Field Communication" and is a set of ideas and technologies for data transfer between devices, typically in close distances.Technically, it is based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification RFID] ("Radio-Frequency Identification"), which describes specific technical solutions. Amongst the use cases for NFC, there is communication between smartphones and other devices, but also the scanning of RFID tags. The {{UBIK}} Android RFID scanning feature specifically is the ability to scan RFID tags in order to identify UBIK objects. == Supported RFID Tags == There are three types of RFID markers supported by {{{UBIK}}} Android:* NfcA (RFID standard: ISO-14443A)* NfcB (RFID standard: ISO-14443B)* NfcV (RFID standard: ISO-15693) == Supported Devices == Currently, all devices with standard Android NFC reader access are supported, as well as the Getac Z710 rugged tablet with a built-in RFID reading module accessed by the proprietary Getac SDK.{{Attention|Not all Getac Z710 devices do have an RFID reading module.}} == Search modes == {{UBIK}} provides two mechanisms modes for searching objects: [[Sync Mode#Possible sync modes|online and offline]].
=== Searching offline ===
When the Internet is avaiable and {{UBIK}} is not running under offline mode, the search result is enhanced by online search. This means any objects that match the scanned results can be found even if they don't yet exist locally.
== Presenting results of a search Search result ==
Once the objects are found, they are displayed in a list. The users can then browse to any of the objects for more information by clicking on the objects.
== Technical background Classifications ==
In order for objects to be identifiable through RFID, they have to carry the [[SYSCLS OBJECTWITHRFIDTAG]] classification.
