Abstract: Methods of providing information using an interactive information device (2) are provided. A first method comprises displaying on a display (3) of an interactive information device (2) information selected from information for display stored in a memory of or accessible to the interactive information device (2), establishing a communications connection between the interactive information device (2) and a mobile communications device (20), and transmitting data to the interactive information device (2) from the mobile communications device (20) and/or from the interactive information device (2) to the mobile communications device (20).
Abstract: A method and system (2) for providing information to a mobile communications device (8), such as a mobile phone (8), is provided. The method comprises providing selection means, such as a button, icon or the like, for enabling selection of information, such as content that a user (4) wishes to receive. The method further comprises providing information, e.g. content, from information providing means (30), such as a server (30) or the like, to a communications means, in response to activation of the selection means. The method further comprises automatically transmitting further information, e.g. content, which may be the same as the original information and/or may be adapted, etc., from the communications means to a mobile communications device (8) such as a mobile phone (8). The communications means preferably comprises an application or other program or the like (preferably for a computer (10), laptop, etc.).
Abstract: The present invention relates to an individualized short-range radio communication method applicable to communications which can include applications or programs and multimedia information, between: a central device (1, 101) suitable for detecting radio-frequency signals of different technologies and protocols, and for setting up bidirectional short-range radio communications using said technologies and protocols, surrounding devices (2, 102), suitable for bidirectionally communicating by means of a short-range technology and a protocol comprising: a.1) polling by means of the central device (1, 101) a surrounding area thereof, using a detection module dedicated for each technology and protocol, a.2) detecting and acquiring through the pick-up of at least one radio-frequency signal emitted by said surrounding devices (2, 102) a unique identifier of said surrounding devices (2, 102) and a.
