Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device that communicates with a short-range communication tag using short-range wireless communication, first data indicating a unique identifier of the short-range communication tag, wherein the computing device is proximate to the short-range communication tag within a range of Near Field Communication; responsive to receiving a user input that defines a first configuration operation for at least one application of the computing device, generating, by the computing device, an association between the first configuration operation and the unique identifier of the short-range communication tag; after generating the association, receiving, by the computing device using short-range wireless communication within the range of Near Field Communication, second data; responsive to receiving the second data, determining, by the computing device, whether the computing device recognizes the unique identifier of the short-range communication tag in the second data, and:
