Methods, systems, and computer readable media for facilitating in-store or near-store ordering and payment of goods and services through a single-tap of a near field communication (NFC) device
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a smart poster that is located in an area accessible to a potential consumer of goods or services and includes a content code and a location identifier that can be used to access content data specific to a good or service advertised by the smart poster;
a merchant ordering and payment system that receives and processes an order and a payment for the good or service advertised by the smart poster; and
a wireless smart device that is configured for wirelessly obtaining the content code and the location identifier from the smart poster, using the location identifier to establish communication with the merchant ordering and payment system, using the content code to obtain the content data specific to the good or service from the merchant ordering and payment system, initiating an order for the good and service based on the content data, and submitting the order and associated payment information stored within the wireless smart device for the good or service to the merchant ordering and payment system such that both the order and the payment bypass a point-of-sale terminal when communicated by the wireless smart device to the merchant ordering and payment system.
