Abstract
Accessories for an electronic device and methods are described. The accessory comprises a substrate configured to be removably attached to the electronic device and a near-field communications (NFC) tag attached to the substrate and configured to transmit interaction data in response to receiving a signal from a separate electronic device. The interaction data causes the separate electronic device to access user data associated with a unique user account.
Claims17
An accessory for an electronic device, the accessory comprising:
- a substrate configured to be removably attached to the electronic device;
- a near-field communications (NFC) tag attached to the substrate and configured to transmit interaction data in response to receiving a signal from a separate electronic device, wherein the interaction data causes the separate electronic device to access user data associated with a unique user account;
- wherein the user data is associated with a social media service and the interaction data includes data associated with a user account on a hosting service;
- and
- wherein the user data associated with the social media service is a profile for the user on the social media service and wherein the separate electronic device presents an option to an operator of the separate electronic device to connect to the profile.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by an NFC tag, interaction data from a first electronic device, wherein the NFC tag is integrated within an accessory and wherein the interaction data comprises a deep link to a hosting service;
- storing, by the NFC tag, the interaction data;
- receiving, by the NFC tag, a signal from a second electronic device proximate to the NFC tag;
- and
- transmitting, by the NFC tag, the interaction data to the second electronic device causing the second electronic device to (1) access data associated with a unique user account of a social media service and (2) to present an option to a user of the second electronic device to connect to the unique user account.
An accessory for an electronic device, the accessory comprising:
- a substrate configured to be removably attached to the electronic device;
- and
- a near-field communications (NFC) tag attached to the substrate and configured to transmit data associated with a user account of a hosting service in response to receiving a signal from a separate electronic device, wherein the transmission of the data causes the separate electronic device to present an option to an operator of the separate electronic device to connect to a user profile of a social media service.
