Abstract
A method for aligning NFC antennas on a mobile device and document. The method comprises determining the mobile device model identifier, associating the model identifier with a configuration, determining a model type and determining the document configuration in relation to its NFC components, selecting an feedback schema for aligning the NFC antennas based on the device and document configuration, generating alignment feedback according to the alignment feedback schema, detecting a data connection between the mobile device and the document and generating a connection indication. The determining the document type can be performed by reading a Machine Readable Zone. The feedback schema can be coupled with the mobile device's video camera and display, audio, and haptic feedback.
