Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer programs for configuring a computer program based on user are provided. One method includes an operation for detecting, by a controller, an object carried by a user, where the object includes a parameter value—e.g., a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag—that uniquely identifies the object from a plurality of objects. The parameter value is transmitted to a computing device executing the computer program, and the computer program determines if the computer program has user information associated with the transmitted parameter value. The computer program is configured utilizing the user information, when the computer program has the user information for the parameter value.
