Near field communication activation and authorization

1. A method of activation and authorization of a near field communication (NFC) enabled device comprising:

compiling login information associated with the NFC enabled device and a user of the NFC enabled device by generating a public key associated with the NFC enabled device and receiving specific information of the user;

transmitting the compiled login information to a server via network;

receiving, via network, packet data generated by the server in response to the login information, wherein the packet data comprises data associated with the NFC enabled device and comprises one of country data, currency data, language data, or activation code;

generating a corresponding code based on the packet data received;

transmitting, via network, the corresponding code, wherein the receiving of the packet data and the transmitting of the corresponding code facilitate an initial activation and authorization of the NFC enabled device at the server;

storing the packet data in the NFC enabled device; and

activating the NFC enabled device in response to an NFC link being established, by accessing the stored packet data that permits a subsequent activating of the NFC enabled device without further authorizing of the NFC enabled device at the server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific information of the user comprises one of a phone number, pin number, email address, or password of the user.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NFC enabled device comprises a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a computer, or a personal computer (PC).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NFC link is established by tapping the NFC enabled device with another NFC enabled device, or by positioning the NFC enabled device in close proximity to another NFC enabled device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the NFC enabled device comprises a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a computer, or a personal computer (PC).

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the other NFC enabled device comprises a cell phone, a fob, a smartcard, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a computer, a personal computer (PC), or a point of purchase (POP) terminal.

7. An apparatus for conducting a financial transaction comprising:

a near field communication (NFC) enabled device adapted to:

compile login information associated with the NFC enabled device and a user of the NFC enabled device, wherein the login information comprises a public key associated with the NFC enabled device and specific information of the user;

transmit the login information to a server via network;

receive, via network, packet data generated by the server in response to the login information, wherein the packet data comprises data associated with the NFC enabled device and comprises one of country data, currency data, language data, or activation code;

generate a corresponding code based on the packet data received;

transmit, via network, the corresponding code generated in response to the receipt of the packet data, the receipt of the packet data and the transmission of the corresponding code facilitating an initial activation and authorization of the NFC enabled device at the server;

the NFC enabled device further adapted to store the packet data and activate the NFC enabled device in response to an NFC link being established, by accessing the stored packet data that permits a subsequent activation of the NFC enabled device without further authorization of the NFC enabled device at the server.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the login information further comprises one of a phone number, pin number, email address, or password of the user.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the NFC enabled device comprises a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a computer, or a personal computer (PC).

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the NFC link is established by tapping the NFC enabled device with another NFC enabled device, or by positioning the NFC enabled device in close proximity to another NFC enabled device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the NFC enabled device comprises a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a computer, or a personal computer (PC).

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the other NFC enabled device comprises a cell phone, a fob, a smartcard, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a computer, a personal computer (PC), or a point of purchase (POP) terminal.

13. A method of activation and authorization of a near field communication (NFC) enabled device comprising:

receiving, via network from an NFC enabled device, login information associated with the NFC enabled device and a user of the NFC enabled device, wherein the login information comprises a public key associated with the NFC enabled device and specific information of the user;

generating packet data based on the login information received from the NFC enabled device, wherein the packet data comprises data associated with the NFC enabled device and comprises one of country data, currency data, language data, or activation code;

sending packet data to the NFC enabled device via network; and

receiving, via network, corresponding code generated by the NFC enabled device based on the packet data, wherein the sending of the packet data and the receiving of the corresponding code facilitate an initial activation and authorization of the NFC enabled device, and wherein the NFC device is adapted to be activated in response to an NFC link being established, by accessing the packet data that permits a subsequent activation of the NFC device without further authorization of the NFC enabled device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the login information further comprises one of a phone number, pin number, email address, or password of the user.

15. A service provider system for activation and authorization of a near field communication (NFC) enabled device comprising one or more apparatus adapted to:

receive, via network from the NFC enabled device, login information associated with the NFC enabled device and a user of the NFC enabled device, wherein the login information comprises a public key associated with the NFC enabled device and specific information of the user;

generate packet data based on the login information received from the NFC enabled device, wherein the packet data comprises data associated with the NFC enabled device and comprises one of country data, currency data, language data, or activation code;

transmit, via network, the packet data to the NFC enabled device; and

receive, via network, a corresponding code generated by the NFC enabled device based on the packet data, wherein the transmission of the packet data and the receipt of the corresponding code facilitate an initial activation and authorization of the NFC enabled device at the service provider system, and wherein the NFC device is adapted to be activated in response to an NFC link being established, by accessing the packet data that permits an subsequent activation of the NFC device without further authorization of the NFC enabled device at the service provider system.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the login information further comprises one of a phone number, pin number, email address, or password of the user.
