1. An envoy device configured to perform a transaction with a plurality of different types of further devices, said envoy device comprising:
- a data store;
a processor;
a communication circuitry for communicating with said plurality of different types of further devices; and
a display;
said processor being configured to detect one of said plurality of different types of further devices being within a predetermined physical proximity to said envoy device and to perform different transactions with said different types of further devices, said detection automatically triggering said processor to initiate a transaction between said envoy device and said one of said plurality of different types of further devices; and
in response to said transaction completing, said processor being configured to display, on said display, at least one object related to said transaction that it is determined a user may wish to select to initiate a subsequent action on said envoy device,wherein said envoy device is configured to be worn by said user.

Abstract
An envoy device configured to perform a transaction with a further device. The envoy device comprises: a data store; a processor; communication circuitry for communicating with the further device; and a display. The envoy device is configured to respond to detection of the further device being within a predetermined physical proximity to trigger initiation of a transaction between the devices; and to respond to the transaction completing to display an object related to the transaction that it is determined the user may wish to select to initiate a subsequent action.

22. A method of performing transactions between an envoy device and a plurality of different types of further devices located physically close to each other, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting said envoy device and one of said plurality of different types of further devices being within a predetermined physical proximity of each other, said envoy device capable of performing different transactions with said different types of further devices; said detection automatically triggering initiation of a transaction between said envoy device and said one of said plurality of different types of further devices; in response to detecting said transaction completing displaying, on said display, at least one object related to said transaction, that it is determined a user may wish to select to initiate a subsequent action on said envoy device, wherein said envoy device is worn by said user.

23. An envoy means for performing a transaction with a plurality of different types of further means, said envoy means comprising:
-
means for storing data; means for processing data; means for communicating with said plurality of different types of further means; and means for displaying data; said means for processing being for detecting one of said plurality of different types of further means being within a predetermined physical proximity to said envoy means and for performing different transactions with said different types of further devices, said detecting automatically triggering said processing means to initiate a transaction between said envoy means and said one of said plurality of different types of further means; and
in response to said transaction completing, said means for processing is configured to display, on said means for displaying, at least one object related to said transaction that it is determined a user may wish to select to initiate a subsequent action on said envoy means,wherein said envoy means is configured to be worn by the user.
