A method is provided for differentiating one of a plurality of unpowered NEC transmitting devices for NFC communication with a receiving device. Each NFC transmitting device has a transmitter NFC interface and an NFC communication range. A range extending device has a power source, a transmitter communication interface, a range extender antenna, and an amplifier. One of the transmitting devices is selected and the range extending device is connected to it so that the transmitter communication interface engages the transmitter NFC interface of the selected transmitting device. This action serves to establish an extended communication range for the selected NFC transmitting device. The NFC transmitting devices are then positioned at a distance from the receiving device that is within the extended communication range, but outside the communication ranges of the other NFC transmitting devices. NEC communication is then established between the selected NFC transmitting device and the receiving device.
A method of extending a near field communication (NFC) range of an unpowered NFC transmitting device, the method comprising:
A system of extending a near field communication (NFC) range of an unpowered NFC transmitting device, the system comprising:
A computer-readable non-transitory medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform procedures comprising the steps of:
