Abstract

Systems, devices and methods for providing user access to broadcast content in combination with user access to short-range communication content, such as RFID tag content or the like. A broadcast medium, such as Radio Data Broadcast, that provides for broadcast frequency transmission in unison with other content being carried on alternative frequencies is used to transmit digital broadcast signals that include both broadcast content and short-range communication content. A digital broadcast receiver that is equipped to receive the digital signals will additionally include a short-range communication transponder, such as an RFID tag or the like. The transponder, i.e., tag, will include dynamic updateable memory, such that as digital signals are received with new short-range communication content the information associated with the tag will be updated. The tag allows a reader device to capture and, in many instances, store the tag information for later use.
