Abstract
In the case of a potential detection, by a first near field communication (NFC) device, of a second NFC device, a validation of this detection is performed according to the time variation gradient of at least one environmental condition of the first device. A value of one of an amplitude and an phase of a signal across an oscillating circuit of the first NFC device is compared to first thresholds to potentially detect the second NFC device. Validation of detection occurs when one of the amplitude and the phase of the signal is outside the first thresholds adjusted as a function of the time variation gradient. Validation detection also occurs when one of the amplitude and the phase of the signal adjusted as a function of the time variation gradient is outside the first thresholds.
