Increasing sensitivity and readability of contactless cards

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor, the at least one processor being communicatively coupled to a plurality of receiving coils;
• and
• at least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
• determining one or more positions of a first device in relation to the plurality of receiving coils, the determining includes:
• receiving one or more signals from the first device, each of the one or more signals being responsive to one or more transmissions generated and sent to the first device by a respective receiving coil, upon being energized, in the plurality of receiving coils;
• determining a signal strength of each of the one or more signals received from the first device;
• and
• determining the one or more positions of the first devices based on determined signal strengths;
• identifying a first signal in the one or more signals having a highest signal strength based on the determined signal strengths of the one or more signals;
• selecting a first receiving coil corresponding to the first signal, and determining a first position in the one or more positions being proximate to the first receiving coil;
• de-energizing, in response to the selecting, the plurality of receiving coils;
• energizing the selected first receiving coil and establishing, using the selected first receiving coil, a communication with the first device;
• and
• generating an indication to reposition the first device to the first position.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining a signal strength of each of one or more signals received from a first device, wherein each of the one or more signals being responsive to one or more transmissions generated and sent to the first device by one or more receiving coils in a plurality of receiving coils, upon being energized;
• identifying a first signal in the one or more signals having a highest signal strength based on determined signal strengths of the one or more signals;
• selecting a first receiving coil corresponding to the first signal;
• de-energizing, in response to the selecting, the plurality of receiving coils;
• and
• energizing the selected first receiving coil and establishing, using the selected first receiving coil, a communication with the first device.
