Action verification by a communication device enabled for short-range wireless communication

A method of verifying an action to be performed by a communication device capable of short-range wireless communication, the method comprising:

• receiving a short-range wireless communication signal from another communication device;
• reading a communication identifier of the received short-range wireless communication signal;
• determining, based on the communication identifier, a particular audio/visual/audiovisual media content among a plurality of possible media contents, wherein said determining occurs locally in the communication device using the communication identifier, or a part thereof, as a reference by means of which the particular audio/visual/audiovisual media content can be identified, chosen or generated locally in the communication device;
• controlling a user interface of the communication device to present the particular media content to a user of the communication device;
• controlling the user interface to receive an input from the user as an inspection result of the user's verification of a match between the presented particular media content and a corresponding particular media content being presented by or at the other communication device;
• and
• conditionally upon having received the input from the user, causing the communication device to perform the action.

A communication device comprising:

• a processing device;
• a user interface;
• and
• a short-range wireless communication transceiver,
• wherein the short-range wireless communication transceiver is configured for:
• receiving a short-range wireless communication signal from another communication device, and
• wherein the processing device is configured for:
• reading a communication identifier of the received short-range wireless communication signal;
• determining, based on the communication identifier, a particular audio/visual/audiovisual media content among a plurality of possible media contents;
• controlling the user interface to present the particular media content to a user of the communication device;
• controlling the user interface to receive an input from the user;
• and
• conditionally upon having received the input from the user, causing the communication device to perform an action by participating in one of the following:
• a payment transaction,
• a transaction for transfer of funds,
• an information exchange,
• an identity authentication, and
• an access authorization.
