Abstract
A transaction device includes a transceiver for receiving a first message from a first smart device and a second message from a second smart devices at distances greater than a first distance, a processor for determining a first payload and first identifier for the first smart device from the first message and for determining a second payload and second identifier for the second smart device from the second message, an NFC device for receiving an NFC identifier from a smart device at a distance less than the first distance, wherein the processor is for determining whether the NFC identifier data matches the first identifier data or the second identifier data, for processing the first payload when the NFC identifier matches the first identifier data, and for processing the second payload when the NFC identifier matches the second identifier data.
