A communication device is disclosed. The communication device includes a housing comprising an active surface, and a processor associated with the housing. An NFC antenna array is coupled to the processor and is under the active surface of the housing. Each NFC antenna in the NFC antenna array is configured to detect a user device that is proximate to the NFC antenna. The user device comprises a user device NFC antenna and access data. A non-transitory computer readable medium is coupled to the processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprises code, executable by the processor, to cause the processor to perform operations. The operations include sequentially polling the NFC antennas in the NFC antenna array until the user device is detected by an NFC antenna in the NFC antenna array and the access data is received by the NFC antenna in the NFC antenna array.
A communication device comprising:
A method of using a communication device comprising a housing with an active surface, and a processor associated with the housing, an NFC antenna array coupled to the processor and under the active surface of the housing, the NFC antenna array comprising a plurality of NFC antennas, the method comprising:
A system comprising:
