Communications system including display with NFC device associated therewith and associated methods

摘要

A communications system includes a display configured to display at least one time variable image, at least one passive near field communications (NFC) device associated with the display, and a media device. An identifier is associated with the at least one passive NFC device. A mobile wireless communications device includes a second NFC device, a wireless transceiver, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, via communication between the at least one passive NFC device and the second NFC device, an identifier for the at least one passive NFC device. The processor is also configured to send, via the wireless transceiver and to the media device, the identifier and the identifier time, and receive, from and media device and via the wireless transceiver, data relating to the at least one time variable image based upon the identifier and an identifier time based upon the identifier.

主权项

1. A communications system comprising:
a electronic display configured to display a plurality of different images in a sequence, each image having respective data associated therewith; at least one passive near field communications (NFC) device associated with said electronic display and having an identifier associated therewith; a media device configured to determine, based upon the identifier from the at least one passive NFC device and an identifier time, a given image in the sequence that was displayed on said electronic display at the identifier time; and a mobile wireless communications device comprising
a second NFC device,a wireless transceiver, anda processor coupled to said second NFC device, and said wireless transceiver, and configured to
receive, via communication between said at least one passive NFC device and said second NFC device, the identifier associated with said at least one passive NFC device,send, via said wireless transceiver, the identifier to said media device, andreceive, from said media device and via said wireless transceiver, data relating to the given image that was displayed on said electronic display at the identifier time based upon the identifier and an identifier time.
