Stockholm hotel will be able to use mobile phones instead of keysto unlock the doors of their rooms.Assa Abloy，the world’s largest maker of doorlocks ，has launched a pilot in which the Clarion Hotel in Stockholm will lend customers mobile phones with close-range radio chips.Repeat visitors during a four-month trial will be able to check in(在旅店登记) using their phones before arrival and have their phones activated(激活) as “keys”． They will then be able to unlock the door by holding the phone next to it.The short-range radio technology，known as Near Field munication (NFC)，is expected to be built into smart phones in the ing years.It is also expected to beused for ticketing and card payments.Assa Abloy said it wanted to test the systembefore expanding(扩展) it to other hotels，mercial buildings and homes.Greger Johansson ， who works at research firm Redeye， said NFC is hot technology in the mobile phone market.But he said few models have used it so far and it willtake“several years” before
