Embodiment Construction

[0022] Various aspects are now described with reference to the figures. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more aspects. It may be evident, however, that such aspects may be practiced without these specific details.

[0023] Typically, as part of an NFC action, a device may identify an NFC target device and / or tag when the device is within range of a coverage area of ​​the NFC device and / or tag. Thereafter, the device may obtain sufficient information to determine the type of NFC action to allow communication to be established. An example of types of NFC actions include different types of RF technologies. Communication between devices can be achieved through various NFC RF technologies, such as but not limited to NFC-A, NFC-B, NFC-C, and the like. Furthermore, NFC actions may include aspects associated with different phases of communication (eg, activation ...

Abstract

Aspects disclosed herein relate to improving near field communication (NFC) device positioning for performing an NFC action based on one or more sensory cues. In one example, a NFC device may be equipped to detect that a device is attempting to perform a NFC action to communicate with a remote NFC device and may provide a first sensory cue to indicate a first location on a first surface of the device corresponding to an antenna location on a second surface of the device in response to the determination that the device is attempting to perform the NFC action. The NFC device may be further operable to determine a type of NFC action the device is attempting to perform and provide a second sensory cue indicating a second location on the first surface of the device based on one or more factors associated with the determined type of NFC action.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the disclosed aspects relate to inter-device and / or intra-device communication, and in particular, to methods for improving near field communication (NFC) connections through device location based on one or more sensory cues methods and systems. Background technique [0002] Advances in technology have resulted in smaller and more powerful personal computing devices. For example, there currently exist a variety of portable personal computing devices including wireless computing devices (such as portable wireless telephones), personal digital assistants (PDAs), and paging devices, each of which is small, lightweight, and capable of easily carried by the user. More specifically, portable radiotelephones also include, for example, cellular telephones that exchange voice and data packets over a wireless network. Many such cellular telephones are being manufactured with a relatively large increase in computing power, and as a result, such cel...
