Abstract
A portable consumer electronic device includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) interface, and a controller. The controller collects and stores diagnostic data associated with a communication function of the portable consumer electronic device in memory. When the NFC interface establishes an NFC link with an external NFC-capable device, the NFC interface transmits user data to effect a protected function associated with the NFC-capable device. The controller also causes the NFC interface to transmit the stored diagnostic data over the NFC link to the NFC-capable device.
