1. A display device comprising:
- a processing unit;
a display unit coupled to the processing unit; and
a near field communication (NFC) unit coupled to the processing unit, wherein said processing unit is configured to extract display messages and corresponding NFC messages from parallel channels in a single data source, the corresponding NFC messages uniquely identify the display device and are embedded within a file or stream that also contains the display messages, and synchronize display messages to be displayed by the display unit with corresponding NFC messages stored in the NFC unit and read by an external NFC-enabled mobile device.
