Abstract: A method of ordering location-specific services in which RFID or NFC interaction between an RFID or NFC-enabled portable device or a mobile telephone of a user, on the one hand, and a location and service-specific smartposter comprising at least one RFID or NFC label or tag or a location and service-specific RFID or NFC label affixed to an object such as a smartposter, on the other hand, is used to set up an activatable link to the portable device or mobile telephone. A connection to a server operated by the service provider is established following link activation. Location information relating to the RFID or NFC label is communicated to the service provider's server, the contents of the server page corresponding to the link depending on the location information transmitted by the RFID or NFC label. The user is then capable of ordering location-specific services after the connection has been set up.

Abstract: A method for reserving a service from inside a vehicle (A) at one of several facilities providing such service. The vehicle (A) having a navigation apparatus (1) which is equipped for data communication with a reservation server (3). Each service-providing facility has a reading mechanism (11, 12). The navigation apparatus (1) is adapted to display the service-providing facilities within an area to which the vehicle (A) is traveling. Using the navigation apparatus (1), the user selects one of the displayed service-providing facilities and communicates a reservation for the desired service—together with user identification data—with reservation server (3) at the selected facility. Upon arrival at the selected facility, a reading mechanism (11, 12) reads the identification data and grants access to the desired service, if the user identification data agrees with the data previously communicated to the reservation server (3).
