upon said authenticating, wirelessly transmitting, from the establishment communication device, a request to pair with the mobile device via said establishment software application; receiving, at the establishment communication device, an acceptance of the request to pair; responsive to receiving the acceptance, automatically and wirelessly pairing the establishment communication device with the mobile device utilizing a pairing protocol; responsive to the automatic and wireless pairing of the establishment communication device with the mobile communication device, wirelessly transmitting information data from the establishment communication device to the mobile communication device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 1, wherein the pairing protocol comprises at least one of the following: Legacy pairing; Secure Simple pairing; Numeric comparison; Passkey Entry; and Out of band. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 1, wherein the accepting comprises at least one of the following: password entry; code entry; keystroke entry; and button entry. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 1, further comprising archiving information regarding the information data content. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 1, further comprising archiving a list of information that was transmitted and read. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 1, wherein the indicia reader is disposed in the establishment communication. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 1, wherein the establishment communication device is disposed on a wireless indicia reader base. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, further comprising: displaying, as information bearing indicia, on a display disposed on the mobile device, the content of the information data; reading the information bearing indicia on the display with an indicia reader at a point of transaction; and at the point of transaction, transmitting the information data content from the indicia reader to an establishment transaction device wherein the establishment transaction device utilizes the information data content when completing a transaction. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A method according to claim 1, wherein the establishment communication device is an establishment server. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A method according to claim 9, further comprising registering identification information of the mobile device with the establishment server prior to the automatic and wireless pairing of the mobile device and the establishment server. ### Claim 11 A method of completing a transaction comprising: registering, within an establishment server, pairing data associated with a mobile communication device storing an establishment software application; automatically and wirelessly pairing the establishment server with the mobile communication device via the establishment software application upon the mobile device moving within the communication range of the establishment server; responsive to automatically and wirelessly pairing the establishment server with the mobile communication device, wirelessly transmitting information data from the establishment server to the mobile communication device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 11, further comprising archiving information regarding using the information data content when completing the transaction. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 11, further comprising archiving a list of information that was transmitted and read. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 11, wherein the establishment server is in communication with said point of transaction indicia reader. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) A method of completing a transaction in accordance with claim 11, wherein the establishment server is configured for wired or wireless communication. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) A method according to claim 11, further comprising: displaying, on a display disposed on the mobile device, the content of the information data as information bearing indicia; reading the information bearing indicia with a point of transaction indicia reader; and using the information data content when completing the transaction with the point of transaction indicia reader. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) A method according to claim 11, wherein said automatic pairing occurs upon a first instance of the mobile device moving within a communication range of an establishment communication device. ### Claim 18 A transaction system comprising: an establishment communication device configured for automatically and wirelessly identifying a mobile communication device upon the mobile communication device moving within the communication range of the establishment communication device, the system configured to perform a method comprising: the establishment communication device transmitting at predetermined intervals a request to pair with the mobile communication device; the establishment communication device and mobile device automatically and wirelessly pairing via an establishment software application stored on the mobile device; responsive to receiving an acceptance of the request to pair, the establishment communication device wirelessly transmitting information data to the mobile communication device; and the transaction system using the pairing to complete a transaction. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) A transaction system in accordance with claim 18, wherein the establishment communication device is located at a point of transaction. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) A transaction system in accordance with claim 18, wherein the establishment communication device is disposed on an indicia reader. ### Claim 21 (depends on 18) A transaction system in accordance with claim 18, wherein the establishment communication device is disposed on a wireless indicia reader base. ### Claim 22 (depends on 18) A method according to claim 18, wherein said automatic wireless identifying occurs upon a first instance of the mobile device moving within a communication range of an establishment communication device. ### Claim 23 (depends on 18) A system according to claim 18, wherein said establishment communication device is an establishment server configured to continuously search for and pair with a plurality of said mobile devices. ### Claim 24 (depends on 23) A method according to claim 23, wherein said mobile device comprises pairing identification information that is registered with said establishment server prior to the automatic and wireless pairing.
