The first device comprises a mechanism to read/write data from/to an NFC data carrier. The method comprises a set-up phase and an exploitation phase.
Claims11
A configuration method for a multimedia system comprising a first device and a first adjacent device adapted to communicate with the first device, said first device adapted to read from and write to a near field communication (NFC) data carrier, said method comprising a set-up phase and an exploitation phase, the set-up phase comprising:
- collecting by the first device configuration data pertaining to the first device;
- receiving by the first device from the first adjacent device a configuration message comprising configuration data and a device identifier pertaining to the first adjacent device;
- forming by the first device a set of configuration messages comprising configuration data and device identifiers for the first device and the first adjacent device;
- and
- transferring the set of configuration messages to an NFC data carrier;
- the exploitation phase comprising:
- reading by the first device the set of configuration messages stored in the NFC data carrier;
- extracting by the first device the configuration data of the first device from the set of configuration messages;
- transferring by the first device to the first adjacent device the configuration message of the adjacent device;
- and
- loading the configuration data of the first device in the first device to obtain a particular entertainment function.
A first device comprising:
- a near field communication (NFC) interface adapted to read from and write to a near field communication (NFC) data carrier;
- a communications interface configured for communications with a first adjacent device;
- and
- a logic circuit connected to the NFC interface and the communications interface;
- wherein the first device is adapted to:
- collect configuration data pertaining to the first device;
- receive from the first adjacent device a configuration message comprising configuration data and a device identifier pertaining to the first adjacent device;
- form a set of configuration messages comprising configuration data and device identifiers for the first device and the first adjacent device;
- and
- transfer the set of configuration messages to an NFC data carrier;
- read by the set of configuration messages stored in the NFC data carrier;
- extract the configuration data of the first device from the set of configuration messages;
- transfer to the first adjacent device the configuration message pertaining to the first adjacent device;
- and
- load the configuration data of the first device in the first device to obtain a particular entertainment function.
