Abstract
A method for configuring a first device for a near-field communication with a second device, wherein a peer-to-peer mode is selected if the second device draws the power supply of its circuits from a battery.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a first near-field communication device, whether a second near-field communication device is self-powered;
- and
- selecting, by the first near-field communication device, a mode of communication with the second near-field communication device based on the determination of whether the second near-field communication device is self-powered.
A near-field communication device, comprising:
- an oscillating circuit, which, in operation, generates a communication field;
- and
- processing circuitry coupled to the oscillating circuit, wherein the processing circuitry, in operation:
- determines whether a second near-field communication device is self-powered;
- and
- selects a mode of near-field communication with the second near-field communication device based on the determination of whether the second near-field communication device is self-powered.

A device, comprising:
- one or more inputs to couple to an oscillating circuit;
- and
- processing circuitry coupled to the one or more inputs, wherein the processing circuitry, in operation:
- determines whether a second near-field communication device is self-powered;
- and
- selects a mode of near-field communication with the second near-field communication device based on the determination of whether the second near-field communication device is self-powered.
