Abstract
The present disclosure describes identifying a type of mobile device, determining a location of a near-field communication (NFC) device (e.g., NFC reader) within a mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone) based on its type, creating a user interface displayed on the mobile device with a visual indication of a tap zone for the NFC device based on its location within the mobile device, and then displaying the user interface on a display screen.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a type of a first mobile device;
- identifying, based on the type of the first mobile device, a location within the first mobile device where a first Near Field Communication (NFC) device is located;
- creating, based on the location of first NFC device, a user interface with a visual indication of a tap zone, the tap zone being an area of the first mobile device that a second NFC device may be placed in proximity to enable NFC communication to occur between the first and second NFC devices;
- and
- displaying the user interface on a display screen.

A mobile device for performing a transaction with a payment card, the mobile device comprising:
- a first Near Field Communication (NFC) device;
- a display screen;
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the first NFC device, the display screen, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- identify a type of the mobile device,
- identify, based on the type of the mobile device, a location within the first mobile device where a first NFC device is located,
- create, based on the location of first NFC device, a user interface with a visual indication of a tap zone, the tap zone being an area of the first mobile device that a second NFC device may be placed in proximity to enable NFC communication to occur between the first and second NFC devices, and
- display the user interface on the display screen.

A method comprising:
- determining, by a first mobile device, a type of a second mobile device, the first mobile device having a first Near Field Communication (NFC) device;
- identifying, based on the type of the second mobile device, a location within the second mobile device where a second NFC device is located;
- creating, based on the location of second NFC device, a user interface with a visual indication of a tap zone, the tap zone being an area of the second mobile device that the first NFC device may be placed in proximity to enable NFC communication to occur between the first and second NFC devices;
- and
- displaying, by the first mobile device, the user interface.
