Abstract
A mobile wireless communications device includes a near field communications (NFC) device, and a magnetic sensor. A processor is coupled to the NFC device and the magnetic sensor, and is switchable between an active mode and an idle mode based upon the magnetic sensor. The processor is configured to remain in the active mode based upon communication via the NFC device irrespective of the magnetic sensor.
