I have an SCL3711 smart card reader connected to my PC. Is there any way in which I can get my windows 8 phone to recognize my PC as an NFC device and transfer data via NFC between them?
You should use the peer to peer communication.
I don't know if there are any software but you can develop it yourself (more easier way is to use c#).

I found this link (Project My Screen).
However, I really want to control a Windows Phone from another Windows 8 or Windows 10 device.
Can I do this?
If not then how can I?
There are no APIs that allow for this. WinRT doesn't have them, and it would require very low-level access to make this happen.
I started building Windows Store App, but after I discovered that my device is not discovarable on Windows 8.1 compared to Windows 7 and IPhone on which I can detect this Blutooth LE device.
I am using following PrimaryServices:
Generic Access (0x1800)
General Attribute (0x1801)
Costum service (0x13B0)
Device Information (0x180A)
How can I make this device discovarable and usable later in Windows Store Apps (writing some kind of driver, change some services on device or as a last option write specification for costum service this is too expensive for me at the moment)?
Mutiple solutions for this problem are welcome.
You need to go through Windows 8's UI to pair with Bluetooth Devices. You cannot control the pairing programmatically.
If what you describe is that you cannot discover your Bluetooth device, even on Windows 8's UI, then there must be a compatibility problem:
Your dongle on Windows 8 may be classical (below 4.0) while the device is strictly Low Energy (4.0)
Your dongle's driver was not properly installed
Is there any smart card accessing api for windows phone 8 like "openmobileapi" for android and "jsr177 satsa api" for j2me?
As windows phone 7 devices are not having external memory card support , i am looking only for windows phone 8
There is something in place through the Wallet and SecureElement APIs which allows you to access the UICC. This requires some privileges. This was developed in the context of NFC payment, and may require a specific SIM. Probably more APIs will emerge in the next release of Windows Phone 8.
I am new to NFC. I need to implement point of sale NFC application in Windows 8 Tablet. I could find that windows 8 limited NFC support
for ISO 14443/ISO7816.
I would like to know, is it possible to develop a point of sale application in Windows 8 tablet which can communicate to a NFC smart card using ISO 14443/ISO7816.
Windows 8 has "support" for NFC via their Proximity API. However this has two issues: It only works for Windows Store apps. Also, the Proximity highly abstract the underlying details of NFC from the application developer. There isn't really a concept of a tag, you are just handed a message (NdefMessage) via an event model.
Most people use PC/SC which gives you very low-level access. PC/SC is what the GoToTags Windows NFC App uses. You could also use of the NFC reader SDKs if you are OK with being tied to a specific NFC reader.

I am a little confused with the two apps, Windows 8 (which run only on Windows 8 OS?) and Windows Phone Apps.
Based on the marketing I heard around windows 8, I assumed an app available on Windows 8 would automatically be available on windows phone?
I am assuming this is not the case after searching around, because I see a windows app store (which I assume only includes windows 8 apps), and the windows phone.
Assuming my assumptions are correct, do you need to buy a developer licence for both windows 8 app store and windows phone store?
Is it as simple as submitting your windows 8 app that was created through windows phone, or is there additional configuration or development that needs to be done? Assuming that you don't care about resolutions or functionality.
Thanks for any clarification.
*Additional question,
Where does Windows tablets running windows RT and or non RT fall into all this? Are they windows apps I'm assuming?
Hope it helps you. As the store licences are unified (WP8 and Windows 8), the development remains different http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2013/11/06/unifying-developer-registration-windows-and-windows-phone.aspx
Yes you are correct Both the platforms need seperate Developer Accounts one for the Windows Store Apps and one For the Windows Phone Apps..and yes both the Apps are different you have to develop both the Apps Separately and submit them to the respective market separately only then would it be available in the respective markets.
Separate Developer Accounts for the Windows Store Apps and Phone are no longer required. If you have a App Store account, you should now see that you can register up to 3 phones without a separate registration process.
IF you have a developer account, VS2013, and a windows 8 phone plugged into USB, an easy way to be guided through the process is to create a new project and select a W8 Phone sample. Specify that you want to debug using a Device (as opposed to an emulator). You will get a Device is not registered for development dialog with a link to instructions.
As mentioned in other post, things have been streamlined so W8 and W8 phone mostly overlap APIs, and you can probably use the same source, but will need build separate outputs.
