Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses one or more NFC tags embedded in, affixed to, or printed into a delivery label that may be used to track mail. After an NFC shipping tag has been scanned, delivery information relating to shipping a piece of mail may be received and stored in a database, where that shipping information may be associated with the scanned NFC tag. When a shipping label includes two parts, a first part may be a receipt that can be detached and retained by a sender of a piece of mail, and a second part may stays attached to that piece of mail as it is delivered to a destination. A sender preparing to send mail may provide information that allows electronic devices to receive messages as a NFC shipping label is scanned by different NFC scanners at different locations as that mail moves toward a destination.

Claim (Index 13):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor for performing a method for tracking packages, the method comprising:\n receiving via a network interface information relating to a scanned first near field communication (NFC) tag; receiving shipping information regarding the shipment of a package to a recipient; storing information in a database that cross-references the scanned first NFC tag with the shipping information; receiving information from one or more NFC scanners as the package is moved toward the recipient based on the one or more NFC scanners scanning at least one of the first NFC tag or a second NFC tag that is associated with the first NFC tag; updating the information stored in the database that cross-references the scanned NFC tag with the shipping information to include the information received from the one or more NFC scanners; and receiving information from a user device that is associated with the recipient after the user device has scanned the at least one of the first NFC tag or the second NFC tag that is associated with the first NFC tag.
