## Abstract

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a device, method, and storage medium. The device receives an image and identifies a computing device in the image. The device retrieves a reference diagram of the computing device and overlays a icon over a portion of the computing device in the image corresponding to a location of a near-field communication antenna.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computing device comprising:
a memory,
a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes instructions to:
receive an image;
identify a first computing device in the image;
retrieve a first reference diagram of the first computing device; and
overlay a first icon over a first portion of the first computing device in the image corresponding to a first location of a near-field communication (NFC) device in the first reference diagram.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 the processor executes instruction further to:
identify a second computing device receiving the image;
retrieve a second reference diagram of the second computing device; and
overlay a second icon on a display attached to the second computing device in the image, wherein the second icon corresponds to the location of an antenna.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, the processor executes instructions further to:
receive a second image;
receive a movement of the second computing device;
update the overlay of the first and second icons based on the movement;
overlay the first and second icons on the second image;
compare the relative positions of the first and second icons within the image;
responsive to the comparison, initiate a wireless data transfer between the first and second computing devices when the relative positions meet a threshold distance.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein the first and second icons are scaled larger upon a proximity between the first and second computing devices becomes smaller.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, the processor executes instructions further to:
calculate a difference of location from the first icon to the second icon;
overlay a third icon corresponding to a direction of movement to overlay the second icon to the first icon.

### Claim 6

A method comprising:
receiving an image;
identifying a first computing device in the image;
retrieving a first reference diagram of the first computing device;
overlaying a first icon over a first portion of the first computing device in the image corresponding to a first location in the first reference diagram, wherein the first location corresponds to a near-field communication (NFC) antenna location within the first computing device;
receive a second image, wherein the second image sequentially follows the image;
calculate a movement based on a difference between the image and the second image; and
overlay the first icon over a first portion of the first computing device in the second image wherein the first portion corresponds to a second location based on the movement between the image and the second image.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6 wherein the movement corresponds to an increase of scale of the first computing device from the image to the second image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, the calculating further comprising:
scaling the first icon proportionally to the increase of scale of the first computing device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the first reference diagram comprises the first location of the near-field communication antenna.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the first reference diagram corresponds to an object model of the first computing device stored in a database.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the image and second images correspond to frames in a video stream.

### Claim 12

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising machine readable instructions that when executed cause a processor to:
receive an image from a digital imaging component;
identify a first computing device in the image;
retrieve a first reference diagram of the first computing device from a database;
extract a first location from the first reference diagram;
overlay a first icon over a first portion of the first computing device in the image corresponding to the first location, wherein the first portion corresponds to an area within the first computing device where a near-field communication antenna (NFC) is integrated.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The medium of claim 12, further comprising instructions to:
identify a second computing device receiving the image;
retrieve a second reference diagram of the second computing device;
overlay a second icon on a display attached to the second computing device, wherein the second icon corresponds to a location of an antenna within the second computing device; and
overlay a third icon corresponding to a directional indicator from the second icon to the first icon.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The medium of claim 13, wherein the antenna within the second computing device comprises a second NFC antenna.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The medium of claim 13 wherein the second computing device comprises a handheld mobile device.
