Benefits of technology

[0012]In another exemplary embodiment, a mobile client includes means for receiving on the mobile client, information relating to a transaction between the mobile client and a transaction host, using a near-field-communication (NFC) link, means for updating a user profile on the mobile client based on the received transaction information, and means for performing at least one of receiving, selecting and displaying one or more targeted content messages on the mobile client based upon the updated user profile.
[0013]In another exemplary embodiment, a mobile client includes a memory, near field communication (NFC) circuitry capable of establishing a two-way NFC link, and a processor coupled to the memory and NFC circuitry, and operable to: receive information relating to a transaction between the mobile client and a transaction host using the NFC link, update a user profile on the mobile client based on the received transaction information, and perform at least one of receiving, selecting and displaying one or more targeted content messages on the mobile client based upon the updated user profile.
[0014]In another exemplary embodiment, a computer program product includes a computer-readable medium, which in turn includes instructions for initiating a transaction between the mobile client and a transaction host using a near field communication (NFC) link, and instructions for performing at least one of receiving, selecting and displaying one or more targeted content messages on the mobile client based upon the updated user profile.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the information that makes some forms of targeted advertising possible may be restricted due to government regulations and the desire of people to limit the dissemination of their personal information.
