1. An NFC system comprising:
- a digital information display;
a camera;
at least one memory;
a near field communication (NFC) module comprising an NFC antenna and an NFC controller;
a plurality of selectable pieces of information stored in the at least one memory; and
a plurality of tag data stored in the at least one memory,wherein each of the plurality of selectable pieces of information corresponds to one of the plurality of tag data,wherein the NFC system is configured;
to capture an image using the camera,to process the camera-captured image to obtain data relating to the camera-captured image,to send, to at least one server, the data relating to the camera-captured image, andto receive, from the at least one server, a first tag datum corresponding to the data relating to the camera-captured image,subsequently, in response to an NFC tagging between the NFC-system and an external NFC-enabled terminal, to cause the first tag datum corresponding to the data relating to the camera-captured image to be transmitted from the NFC module of the NFC-system to the external NFC-enabled terminal,wherein the NFC system is further configured;
to receive a user selection of one of the plurality of selectable pieces of information; and
in response to the user selection, to make a second tag datum available at the NFC module for NFC transmission, wherein the second tag datum corresponds to the selected one of the plurality of selectable pieces of information.

Abstract
An NFC-enabled apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a touch screen display and a near field communication (NFC) module comprising an NFC antenna and an NFC controller. In response to tagging between the NFC-enabled apparatus and the external NFC terminal, an NFC communication channel is established between the NFC-enabled apparatus and the external NFC terminal for data communication therebetween.
