An information kiosk including a display, such as, for example, a touch
screen, and having access to situational information is integrated with a
radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor. The RFID sensor reads the
RFID tag of a user, accesses user information corresponding to the RFID
tag, and customizes an interface to the user based on the user
information and the situational information. The interface is then output
to the user using the display of the information kiosk. The information
kiosk may communicate with a private branch exchange (PBX) switch to
permit use of a contact information center (CIC) or a voice portal. The
user information may be stored as a user profile in a Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) system, accessed by the information kiosk.
By combining the user information with event or location information
stored in the information kiosk, the information kiosk presents
customized information to each user, including maps, directions, and
recommended sites or events.
