1. A method of broadcasting content with embedded data, comprising:
- receiving, by a first device, a first one-way broadcast of content from a first transmitter, the first one-way broadcast having embedded data that comprises tuning information;
transmitting, by a first near field communication component of the first device to a second near field communication component of a second device, at least a portion of the embedded data including the tuning information;
processing, by the second device, the tuning information; and
in response to processing the turning information, receiving, by the second device, a second one-way broadcast of the content from a second transmitter.

Abstract
A broadcasting system having a transmitter that broadcasts a one-way signal is provided. The one-way signal is embedded with data that is transmitted to a device that is enabled with near field communication (NFC) technology. The NFC-enabled device may then transfer at least a portion of the transmitted embedded data to another NFC-enabled device by bringing the NFC-enabled devices into close proximity to each other.

12. A method of broadcasting content with embedded data, comprising:
-
broadcasting, by a transmitter, a one-way broadcast of content, the one-way broadcast having embedded data that comprises at least one of an electronic coupon, an electronic gift card, or an electronic rebate and an identification of an appropriate application to implement the at least one of the electronic coupon, the electronic gift card, or the electronic rebate; receiving, by a first device, the one-way broadcast with the embedded data from the transmitter, wherein the first device comprises a first near field communication (NFC) component; receiving, via a second NFC component of a second device communicating with the first NFC component, at least a portion of the embedded data including the at least one of the electronic coupon, the electronic gift card, or the electronic rebate and the identification of the appropriate application; using, by the second device, the appropriate application identified in the at least the portion of the embedded data to implement the at least one of the electronic coupon, the electronic gift card, or the electronic rebate; and redeeming, by the second device, the at least one of the electronic coupon, the electronic gift card, or the electronic rebate at a point of sale device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
