1. A method for selecting data for transmission from a mobile device, the method comprising:
- collecting, by the mobile device, proximity data indicating proximity between one or more proximity sensors and a triggering entity;
determining, by the mobile device, a type of near-field communication (NFC) transaction; and
determining, by the mobile device, using the proximity data and the type of the NFC transaction, data to transmit to a remote NFC device.

Abstract
Various arrangements for selecting data for transmission from a mobile device are presented. Proximity data indicating proximity between one or more proximity sensors and a triggering entity may be collected by the mobile device. A type of near-field communication (NFC) transaction may be determined by the mobile device. Using the proximity data and the type of the NFC transaction, data to transmit to a remote NFC device may be determined.
