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.
