Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for passing information using a mobile client and a transaction host using near field communication (NFC). The mobile client can initiate a transaction with the transaction host using NFC and receive information about the transaction from the host. This technology allows for secure and efficient communication between mobile clients and transaction hosts.

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.
