Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for automatically linking technical information to a near field communication (NFC) tag comprises programming and/or encoding the NFC tag with a network address of a data source containing technical information, such as maintenance and servicing information, of an object, and then adhering a NFC tag body to that object. When the object is being serviced or maintained by an end user, the end user only needs to tap the NFC tag with a NFC enabled device in order to automatically access the technical information. In some embodiments, the NFC tag body is a tag that typically would otherwise be adhered to the object.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a tag body;
- and
- a programmable NFC tag embedded within the tag body, wherein the NFC tag is encoded with a network address of a remote networked location that stores servicing and maintenance information of an object, wherein the tag body permanently displays a password that is associated with the remote networked location and that is for obtaining access to the information in response to the remote networked location receiving the password as an input.
A method comprising:
- accessing a tag body, wherein the tag body includes a NFC tag encoded with a network address of a remote data source containing digital content of an object, wherein the tag body permanently displays a password that is associated with the remote data source and that is for obtaining access to the digital content;
- adhering the tag body to the object prior to a point of sale of the object, wherein the digital content located at the remote data source is accessible by tapping the NFC tag using an NFC-enabled device;
- and
- providing the NFC-enabled device with the digital content from the remote data source in response to the remote data source receiving the password as an input from the NFC-enable device.
A system comprising:
- a data source including digital content;
- a tag body including a NFC tag encoded with a location information of the data source, wherein the tag body permanently displays a password that is associated with the data source and that is for obtaining access to the digital content in response to the data source receiving the password as an input;
- and
- an object, wherein the tag body is adhered thereto and wherein the digital content includes service and maintenance information of the object.
