1. A method comprising:
- causing, at least in part, detection at an apparatus of a signal from at least one of a plurality of transponders disposed on a dynamically reconfigurable display, wherein the apparatus is physically separated from the display, and each of the transponders physically corresponds to an area of the display;
determining by the apparatus an action in response to the signal, wherein the action is related to content displayed in the respective area of the display; and
causing, at least in part, transmission from the apparatus to a secured website of authentication information for use of the transponders and the secured website in response to the action determination; and
designating a plurality of areas of the display corresponding to the transponders as an array;
wherein the transmission of the authentication information to the secured website is triggered when the apparatus approaches the array within a predetermined distance in a predetermined pattern, order, or a combination thereof, that includes some or more of the areas of the array,wherein the authentication information is based, at least in part, on a service associated with the action and the secured website, andwherein the apparatus is a user terminal that includes a transponder reader.

Abstract
An approach is provided for user interaction via transponders (e.g., near field communication (NFC) tag, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, or contactless card) disposed on a dynamically reconfigurable display. Each transponder corresponds to an area of the display that is associated with one or more actions. The actions are dynamically updated based at least in part on the content presented on the respective area of the display. A user equipment containing a transponder reader detects a signal from one of the transponders to trigger the corresponding action.

7. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, cause, at least in part, detection of a signal from at least one of a plurality of transponders disposed on a dynamically reconfigurable display, wherein the apparatus is separated from the display, and each of the transponders corresponds to an area of the display, determine an action in response to the signal, wherein the action is related to content displayed in the respective area of the display, cause, at least in part, transmission to a secured website of authentication information for use of the transponders and the secured website in response to the action determination; and designate a plurality of areas of the display corresponding to the transponders as an array, wherein the transmission of the authentication information to the secured website is triggered when the apparatus approaches the array within a predetermined distance in a predetermined pattern, order, or a combination thereof, that includes some or more of the areas of the array, wherein the authentication information is based, at least in part, on a service associated with the action and the secured website, and wherein the apparatus is a user terminal that includes a transponder reader. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform at least the following:
-
causing, at least in part, detection of a signal from at least one of a plurality of transponders disposed on a dynamically reconfigurable display, wherein the apparatus is separated from the display, and each of the transponders corresponds to an area of the display; determining an action in response to the signal, wherein the action is related to content displayed in the respective area of the display; causing, at least in part, transmission to a secured website of authentication information for use of the transponders and the secured website in response to the action determination; and designating a plurality of areas of the display corresponding to the transponders as an array, wherein the transmission of the authentication information to the secured website is triggered when the apparatus approaches the array within a predetermined distance in a predetermined pattern, order, or a combination thereof, that includes some or more of the areas of the array, wherein the authentication information is based, at least in part, on a service associated with the action and the secured website, and wherein the apparatus is a user terminal that includes a transponder reader. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
a dynamically reconfigurable display; and a plurality of transponders disposed on the display, wherein each of the transponders corresponds to an area of the display, wherein at least one of the plurality of transponders causes, at least in part, transmission of a signal to be detected by a transponder reader of a mobile user terminal in the proximity of the display, wherein an action is determined by the mobile user terminal in response to the signal, and the action is related to content displayed in the respective area of the display, wherein authentication information is received at a secured website from the mobile user terminal in response to the action determination for use of the transponders and the secured website, and the authentication information is based, at least in part, on a service associated with the action and the secured website, wherein a plurality of areas of the display corresponding to the transponders are designated as an array, and wherein the transmission of the authentication information to the secured website is triggered when the apparatus approaches the array within a predetermined distance in a predetermined pattern, order, or a combination thereof, that includes some or more of the areas of the array. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
