1. An NFC-enabled digital apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen display;
a camera;
a plurality of selectable pieces of information and a plurality of tag data stored in the NFC-enabled digital apparatus, each tag datum corresponding to one of the plurality of selectable pieces of information; and
a near field communication (NFC) module comprising an NFC antenna and an NFC controller,wherein the NFC-enabled digital apparatus 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 datum corresponding to the data relating to the camera-captured image,wherein the NFC-enabled digital apparatus is further configured;
to display at least two selectable pieces among the plurality of selectable pieces of information on the touch screen display,to receive, on the touch screen display, a user selection of a first selectable piece among the at least two selectable pieces displayed on the touch screen display,in response to the user selection of the first selectable piece, to display a first image associated with the first selectable piece on the touch screen display to confirm the selection of the first selectable piece, andsubsequent to the user selection of the first selectable piece, to make a first tag datum corresponding to the first image available at the NFC module such that the first tag datum is to be transmitted from the NFC-enabled digital apparatus to a first external NFC-enabled terminal via an NFC communication channel established in response to a tagging between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the first external NFC-enabled terminal.

Abstract
An NFC-enabled digital 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 digital apparatus and the external NFC terminal, an NFC communication channel is established between the NFC enabled-digital apparatus and the external NFC terminal for data communication therebetween.

15. A method of operating an NFC-enabled digital apparatus, the method comprising:
-
capturing an image using a camera of the NFC-enabled digital apparatus; processing the camera-captured image to obtain data originating from the camera-captured image; sending, to at least one server, the data originating from processing the camera-captured image; receiving, from the at least one server, a first datum corresponding to the data sent to the at least one server; subsequent to receiving the first datum, displaying a plurality of selectable pieces of information comprising on a touch screen display of the NFC-enabled digital apparatus; receiving, on the touch screen display, a user selection of a first selectable piece among the plurality of selectable pieces displayed on the touch screen display; and in response to the user selection of the first selectable piece, making a first tag datum associated with the first selectable piece available at an NFC module of the NFC-enabled digital apparatus; subsequently establishing an NFC communication channel for NFC-based communication between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and a first external NFC-enabled terminal in response to a tagging between the NFC-enabled digital apparatus and the first external NFC-enabled terminal; and subsequently transmitting the first tag datum from the NFC-enabled digital apparatus to the first external NFC-enabled terminal via the NFC communication channel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
