Abstract
A mobile communications device includes a near field communication (NFC) device, a movement determining device, and a processor coupled with the NFC device and the movement determining device. The processor performs operations for selectively switching between a first operating mode, in which the NFC device is enabled for NFC communication, and a second operating mode. When switched to the unsecure operating mode, the processor performs operations for enabling the NFC device for NFC communication until the mobile communications device moves beyond a threshold distance based upon the movement determining device.
