Near-field communication (nfc) system providing mobile wireless communications device operations based upon timing and sequence of nfc sensor communication and related methods

A near-field communication (NFC) system comprising:

• a plurality of spaced-apart NFC sensors;
• an NFC circuit configured to establish NFC communications with said NFC sensors when moved in close proximity therewith;
• and
• a controller coupled to said plurality of spaced-apart NFC sensors and configured to perform a plurality of different remote operations based upon a timing and sequence in which said NFC sensors are communicated with.

A mobile wireless communications device for use with a plurality of spaced-apart near-field communication (NFC) sensors and comprising:

• a portable housing;
• an NFC circuit carried by said portable housing and configured to establish NFC communications with the NFC sensors when moved in close proximity therewith;
• and
• a controller carried by said portable housing and coupled to said NFC circuit and configured to perform different mobile device operations based upon a timing and sequence in which said NFC sensors are communicated with.
