## Abstract

The present invention related generally to an arrangement for delivering information to the user of a mobile device where the information presented to the user is associated with information that has a temporal or contextual or location based association with other information also presented to the user. In one example the mobile device is a devices used to remotely control one or more controllable devices, such as a television, personal video recorder, and/or digital radio receiver, and additional multi-media information is made available to the user interface of the remote control to the user at the time the source information is being viewed/listened to or provided to the user regardless of when the source was generated or broadcast.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A control and presentation system capable of providing data, wherein the data is at least one of source data or additional data, to a user of a mobile device and controlling the mobile device, the mobile device having a processor, memory, one or more wireless communication mechanisms including at least a near field communication mechanism, and a user interface mechanism, the system comprising;
a data store for storing the data and for making the data available using a wireless communication mechanism;
a near field data communication device for transmitting at least part of, or identification of data including at least one trigger condition to the mobile device within near field communication distance when a user brings the mobile into near field communication proximity of the near field data communication device; and
wherein the mobile device using one or more wireless communication mechanisms receives data from the data store for storing in the memory of the mobile device and using the processor of the mobile device to determine when at least one trigger condition is true and controlling the user interface mechanism of the mobile device to present information representative of the data to the user of the mobile device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A control and presentation system according to claim 1 wherein when the mobile device is in near field communication distance with a terminal, a trigger condition is true causing one or more of the data or a related message to be presented to the user of the mobile device by the user interface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A control and presentation system according to claim 2 wherein the trigger condition are formed from logical or algorithmic combinations of events.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

A control and presentation system according to claim 2 wherein the trigger condition includes one or more of the group of conditions of: time; location of the mobile device; user input; frequency modulation (FM) radio data system (RDS) signal; radio frequency identification (RFID) signal; detection of a wireless network; digital broadcast signal; wireless network signal; proximity to a near field communication (NFC) device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

A control and presentation system according to claim 4 wherein the NFC device is in the proximity of a precinct.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

A control and presentation system according to claim 4 further comprising:
at least one broadcast medium device to broadcast one or more of the group of broadcast mediums; an FM RDS signal; an RFID signal; a digital broadcast signal wherein the signal includes data or triggers or both.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

A control and presentation system according to claim 6 wherein the data includes one or more of the group of data representative of catalogues; coupons; vouchers; media streams; specials relating to a retail sales environment.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

A control and presentation system according to claim 6 wherein the data stored in the memory of the digital device is searchable.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

A control and presentation system according to claim 6 wherein the data represents a financial transaction.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

A control and presentation system according to claim 6 wherein the data represents a multi-media data.

### Claim 11 (depends on 6)

A control and presentation system according to claim 6 further including:
at least one NFC device associated with a point of sale terminal.

### Claim 12 (depends on 6)

A control and presentation system according to claim 6 further including:
at least one NFC device associated with a kiosk terminal.

### Claim 13

A method of control and presentation for providing data, wherein the data is at least one of source data or additional data, to a user of a mobile device and controlling the mobile device, the mobile device having a processor, memory, one or more wireless communication mechanisms including at least a near field communication (NFC) mechanism, and a user interface mechanism, the method comprising the steps;
storing data in a data store and for making the data available using a wireless communication mechanism;
providing a NFC device for transmitting at least part of, or identification of data including at least one trigger condition to the mobile device within near field communication distance when a user brings the mobile into near field communication proximity of the near field data communication device wherein the mobile device using one or more wireless communication mechanisms receives data from the data store for storing in the memory of the mobile device and using the processor of the mobile device to determine when at least one trigger condition is true and controlling the user interface mechanism of the mobile device to present information representative of the data to the user of the mobile device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13 including the further step of:
setting a trigger condition to be one or more of the group of: time; location of the mobile device;
user input; frequency modulation (FM) radio data system (RDS) signal; radio frequency identification (RFID) signal; detection of a wireless network; digital broadcast signal; wireless network signal; proximity to a near field communication (NFC) device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13 including the further step of:
setting a trigger condition to be the proximity of the mobile device within near filed communication distance of a POS terminal.
