SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION DEVICES WITH LEGACY CUSTOMER LOYALTY SERVICES

摘要

A tag correlation server enables customer loyalty services to be provided to consumers using near field communication (NFC) devices. The tag correlation server receives a tag ID of an NFC tag fixed to a mobile device of a consumer from a point-of-sale device of a business as part of a transaction between the consumer and the business. The tag correlation server identifies a loyalty card ID of the consumer for the business based on the tag ID and provides the loyalty card ID to a loyalty server of the business to determine loyalty information for the consumer to complete the transaction.
