US 2018/0121905 A1 · INTERACTIVE DISPLAY BASED ON NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing interaction between a user device and an interactive display system using near field communications are provided. The interactive display system includes a display panel configured to present visual content and near field communication (NFC) devices behind or within the display panel. The interactive display system detects a user device adjacent to the display panel using at least one of the NFC devices. The interactive display system determines a position relative to the display panel for the user device. The interactive display system exchanges data with the user device based on the position. The interactive display system may receive data that includes displayable information from the user device and present the displayable information on the display panel at or near the position for the user device. The interactive display system may simultaneously interact with more than one user device.

Dependent claims

An interactive display system, comprising:

a display panel configured to present visual content based on stored data;
a plurality of near field communication (NFC) devices located behind or within the display panel;
a non-transitory memory;
and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
detecting a user device within a first distance to the display panel using at least one of the plurality of NFC devices;
determining a position of the user device relative to the display panel based on a location of the at least one of the plurality of NFC devices ;
and
synchronizing the interactive display system with the user device based on the determined position of the user device by:
selecting a portion of the stored data based on the determined position of the user device;
transmitting the portion of the stored data to the user device;
receiving data from the user device;
presenting the data received from the user device on the display panel;
and
causing the user device to display the portion of the stored data.

12 more elements

A method, comprising:

presenting, by one or more hardware processors, visual content on a display panel based on stored data;
detecting, by the one or more hardware processors using at least one of a plurality of NFC devices, a user device within a first distance to the display panel;
determining, by the one or more hardware processors in response to the detecting, a position of the user device relative to the display panel based on a location of the at least one of the plurality of NFC devices;
and
synchronizing, by the one or more hardware processors, the display panel with the user device based on the determined position of the user device by:
receiving data from the user device;
authenticating a user of the user device based on the determined position of the user device and the received data;
and
in response to successfully authenticating the user, (i) selecting a portion of the stored data based on the determined position of the user device, (ii) transmitting the portion of the stored data to the user device, and (iii) causing the user device to display the portion of the stored data.
