A near-field communication device includes: a processing module and a first antenna arranged in a first near-field communication area and connected to the processing module; a first presence detector arranged in the first area; a second antenna arranged in a second near-field communication area, the first antenna and the second antenna being electrically in series and forming a circuit of antennae; a second presence detector arranged in the second area; and a control circuit designed to place the circuit of antennae into at least two different operating modes: a) a first mode, termed 'functional mode', in which the circuit of antennae allows near-field communication, and b) a second mode, termed 'dysfunctional mode', in which the circuit of antennae does not allow near-field communication.

Near-field communication device comprising two NFC areas

A device () for charging a mobile terminal by magnetic coupling, includes a first charging module () designed to form a charging signal at a first charging frequency, a primary coil () composed of a set of turns, a ferromagnetic body (), a second charging module () designed to form a charging signal at a second charging frequency, higher than the first charging frequency. Furthermore, the charging device includes first routing elements () designed to connect/disconnect the primary coil () to/from the first charging module () and to/from the second charging module (), elements () for adjusting the number of turns on the primary coil () and elements () for saturating the ferromagnetic body () at the second charging frequency. A charging method is also described.
