Abstract
Methods of providing information using an interactive information device (2) are provided. A first method comprises displaying on a display (3) of an interactive information device (2) information selected from information for display stored in a memory of or accessible to the interactive information device (2), establishing a communications connection between the interactive information device (2) and a mobile communications device (20), and transmitting data to the interactive information device (2) from the mobile communications device (20) and/or from the interactive information device (2) to the mobile communications device (20). A further method comprises a tag device detecting the presence of a mobile communications device (20), transmitting data stored in the tag device to the mobile communications device (20) or an information device (2) in response to the detection, preferably transmitting at least some of the data, received from the tag device, from the mobile communications device (20) to an information device (2), and displaying on a display (3) of the information device (2) information relating to the transmitted data received from the mobile communications device (20). One or more systems and/or means for carrying out the methods are provided.
