Abstract
An NFC-enabled digital apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a touch screen display and a near field communication (NFC) module comprising an NFC antenna and an NFC controller. In response to tagging between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the external NFC terminal, an NFC communication channel is established between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the external NFC terminal for data communication therebetween.
Claims32
An NFC-enabled digital apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- a camera;
- at least one memory storing a plurality of selectable pieces of information;
- and
- a near field communication (NFC) module comprising an NFC antenna and an NFC controller,
- wherein the NFC-enabled digital apparatus is configured:
- to capture an image using the camera,
- to process the camera-captured image to obtain data relating to the camera-captured image,
- to send, to at least one server, the data relating to the camera-captured image, and
- to receive, from the at least one server, a datum corresponding to the data relating to the camera-captured image,
- wherein the NFC-enabled digital apparatus is further configured:
- to display at least two selectable pieces among the plurality of selectable pieces of information on the touch screen display,
- to receive, on the touch screen display, a user selection of a first selectable piece among the at least two selectable pieces displayed on the touch screen display,
- in response to the user selection of the first selectable piece, to display a first image associated with the first selectable piece on the touch screen display, and
- subsequent to the user selection of the first selectable piece, to make a first tag datum corresponding to the first image available at the NFC module for transmitting to a first external NFC-enabled terminal via an NFC communication channel established in response to a tagging between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the first external NFC-enabled terminal.

A method of NFC-based information transmission, the method comprising:
- providing an NFC-enabled digital apparatus comprising a touch screen display, a camera, a near field communication (NFC) module, and at least one memory storing a plurality of selectable pieces of information;
- capturing an image using the camera;
- processing the camera-captured image to obtain data relating to the camera-captured image;
- sending, to at least one server, the data relating to the camera-captured image;
- receiving, from the at least one server, a datum corresponding to the data relating to the camera-captured image;
- subsequent to receiving the datum, displaying at least two selectable pieces among the plurality of selectable pieces including a first selectable piece on the touch screen display;
- receiving, on the touch screen display, a user selection of the first selectable piece among the at least two selectable pieces displayed on the touch screen display;
- in response to the user selection of the first selectable piece, displaying a first image associated with the first selectable piece on the touch screen display;
- subsequent to the user selection of the first selectable piece, making a first tag datum corresponding to the first image available at the NFC module;
- and
- transmitting the first tag datum from the NFC-enabled digital apparatus to a first external NFC-enabled terminal via an NFC communication channel established in response to a tagging between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the first external NFC-enabled terminal.
8 more elements
A method of operating an NFC-enabled digital apparatus, the method comprising:
- capturing an image using a camera of the NFC-enabled digital apparatus;
- processing the camera-captured image to obtain data originating from the camera-captured image;
- sending, to at least one server, the data originating from processing the camera-captured image;
- receiving, from the at least one server, a first datum corresponding to the data sent to the at least one server;
- subsequent to receiving the first datum, displaying a plurality of selectable pieces of information on a touch screen display of the NFC-enabled digital apparatus;
- receiving, on the touch screen display, a user selection of a first selectable piece among the plurality of selectable pieces displayed on the touch screen display;
- and
- in response to the user selection of the first selectable piece, making a first tag datum associated with the first selectable piece available at an NFC module of the NFC-enabled digital apparatus;
- and
- subsequently transmitting the first tag datum from the NFC-enabled digital apparatus to a first external NFC-enabled terminal via an NFC communication channel established between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the first external NFC-enabled terminal.
