Upon authorizing the mobile device, the pluggable device initiates the advertisement information exchange between the physical advertising medium and the mobile device in a non-intrusive manner. In one aspect, the method and system further enables the mobile device to relay the advertisement information to other mobile devices or any other physical advertisement mediums within its vicinity.
