6. A method comprising:
-
receiving near field communication information from a mobile device; generating environmental data that includes surroundings of a user based on the near field communication information; generating, by a data mining engine, predictive data based on the environmental data; and providing a service to the user based on the predictive data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A mobile device comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions; and a processor to execute the instructions to; receive one or more product identifiers from one or more near field communication transponders; provide a timestamp for each of the one or more product identifiers; determine whether user consent exists for transmitting the one or more product identifiers to a network; and transmit the one or more product identifiers for data mining purposes to the network if user consent exists. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by a data mining engine within a network, the computer-readable medium comprising:
-
one or more instructions for receiving environmental data based on a distance setting that includes at least one of a product near a user or a product more distant from the user, the environmental data being based on product identifier information collected from a user terminal; and one or more instructions for generating inferred knowledge based on the environmental data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A service provider network, comprising:
-
a data mining engine to generate predictive data based on context data collected from a subscriber via a mobile terminal associated with the subscriber, where the context data includes tag information associated with products in a locale of the subscriber; and a transceiver to provide recommendation data to the subscriber based on the predictive data. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
