Abstract
A device reader () for receiving data from a separate device () comprises a display () and a first antenna () for receiving data from the separate device. The first antenna () has a device reader antenna position relative to the display (). A display processor () displays an image of at least part of the separate device () on the display (). The image has an associated image antenna position corresponding to a position in the image of an antenna () in the separate device (). The image is displayed such that the image antenna position is aligned with the device reader antenna position. The image may be determined from a non-customized image of the separate device () by e.g. rotation, scaling and positioning based on a display characteristic of the display (), such as specifically a size, resolution or pixel-size. The approach may facilitate a user in aligning a device with a device reader when using short-range communication, such as e.g. NFC communication.
