A system and method is disclosed to transmit electronic information to a user of a step-top box. The system includes a database that stores user registration and product information data. A set-top box is also provided that communicates with a remote controller with a touch screen and a server broadcasts the product information data to a plurality of set-top boxes for display on touch screens of remote controller communicating with the set-top boxes, respectively, without the product information being designated for a specific user of one set-top box. The server also transmits updated product information data that replaces a portion of the original product information data. Furthermore, a processor compares data relating to a transaction request from a user of one set-top box with user registration data stored in the database to identify the user, and that generates customized transaction data that is transmitted to the identified user.

The present invention describes a method to select an application on a first device having an NFC interface and comprising a plurality of applications using the NFC interface, said method comprising the steps of detecting a second device having a NFC interface via the NFC interface of the first device, obtaining via the NFC interface a message comprising a message type and a service identification, determining an application type based on the message type and the service identification, selecting at least one application among the plurality of applications matching the message type and the service identification, prompting a user of the first device to accept a communication between the second device and the selected application, in case of positive answer, notifying the selected application of the message type, establishing the communication between the selected application and the second device via the NFC interface.

A serverless subscription service and method for a subscription service which verifies subscription statuses of devices across multiple platforms and aggregates event data from those multiple platforms into normalized, multi-format event data. An exemplary serverless subscription service can issue a notification that a live video streaming event is beginning, then initiate streaming of the live video streaming event to user devices, where the resolution of the live video depends on if the user is a subscriber. The subscription service can also receive, during the live video streaming event, event data from the user device, where the event data has characteristics specific to the platforms of the devices. The subscription service can then aggregate the event data across the multiple platforms to form multi-format event streaming data.
