Abstract
A proximity-based device within a product and/or a product package sends data associated with the product and/or the product package to a mobile device based upon the mobile device being within a proximity to the proximity-based device. Another proximity-based receiver within a mobile device receives data associated with a product and/or a product package from a proximity-based transmitter within the product and/or the product package based upon the proximity-based receiver being within a proximity to the proximity-based transmitter.
Claims35
A method comprising:
- sending, from a proximity-based device within a product and/or a product package, data associated with the product and/or the product package to a mobile device based upon the mobile device being within a proximity to the proximity-based device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a proximity-based transmitter stored within a product and/or a product package that sends data associated with the product and/or the product package to a mobile device based upon the mobile device being within a proximity to the proximity-based device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a proximity-based receiver within a mobile device, data associated with a product and/or a product package from a proximity-based transmitter within the product and/or the product package based upon the proximity-based receiver being within a proximity to the proximity-based transmitter.
An apparatus comprising:
- a proximity-based receiver that receives data associated with a product and/or a product package from a proximity-based transmitter within the product and/or the product package based upon the proximity-based receiver being within a proximity to the proximity-based transmitter.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, a user preference from data stored in a mobile device and a product identifier;
- storing the user preference and the product identifier in a database;
- receiving, from a content playback device, an indication that playback for content corresponding to the product identifier has been initiated;
- sending the user preference to the content playback device so that the content playback device plays back the content according to the user preference.

An apparatus comprising:
- a server that receives a user preference from data stored in a mobile device and a product identifier, stores the user preference and the product identifier in a database, receives, from a content playback device, an indication that playback for content corresponding to the product identifier has been initiated, and sends the user preference to the content playback device so that the content playback device plays back the content according to the user preference.
An apparatus comprising:
- a content playback device that receives a product having content stored thereon for playback and having a product identifier stored thereon, sends an indication to a server that that the product has been received for playback, receives a user preference from the server based upon the product identifier, and configures the playback of the content according to the user preference.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, a user identifier from data stored in a mobile device and a product identifier;
- storing the user identifier and the product identifier in a database;
- receiving, from a content playback device, an indication that playback for content corresponding to the product identifier has been initiated;
- searching a profile database to determine a user preference based upon the user identifier;
- sending the user preference to the content playback device so that the content playback device plays back the content according to the user preference.

An apparatus comprising:
- a server that receives a user identifier from data stored in a mobile device and a product identifier, stores the user identifier and the product identifier in a database, receives, from a content playback device, an indication that playback for content corresponding to the product identifier has been initiated, searches a profile database to determine a user preference based upon the user identifier, and sends the user preference to the content playback device so that the content playback device plays back the content according to the user preference.
An apparatus comprising:
- a content playback device that receives a product having content stored thereon for playback and having a product identifier stored thereon, sends an indication to a server that that the product has been received for playback, receives a user identifier from the server based upon the product identifier, searches a user profile database according to the user identifier to determine a user preference, and configures the playback of the content according to the user preference.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a proximity-based receiver within a mobile device, data associated with a plurality of products and/or product packages from a plurality of proximity-based transmitters stored within the plurality of products and/or product packages based upon the proximity-based receiver being within a first proximity to the plurality of proximity-based transmitters and the plurality of proximity-based transmitters being within second proximity of each other.
