Abstract
Methods and systems utilize a shake and transfer process to provide a consumer with an enhanced user experience. In a first embodiment, a purchase is made between two devices using NFC, and a shake and transfer process downloads large data, such as a movie, video, or game, from one device to the other. In a second embodiment, the user can select information or data, such as non-user contacts, photos, or videos, on the phone to transfer during a shake and transfer process. In yet another embodiment, a user may pay for purchases from an unattended merchant, such as a vending machine, using a shake and transfer process, where the user may also receive incentives, based on the user profile and/or purchase, from the unattended merchant.
