1. A first near field communication (NFC) capable device, comprising:

  • an antenna module configured to detect a generated magnetic field from a second NFC capable device, the antenna module comprising;

    a primary inductive coupling element configured to receive and transmit data with the second NFC capable device; and

    a plurality of passive inductive coupling elements, each passive inductive coupling element configured to provide a detection signal when within range of the generated magnetic field; and

    a controller module configured to determine a motion of the second NFC capable device relative to the first NFC capable device based on the detection signal from each passive inductive coupling element.
