Patent Images
1. 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, andto 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, andsubsequent 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.

7. 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. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. 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. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
