Enabling user interface elements based on short range wireless devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- accessing location information corresponding to a first short range wireless device positioned at least partially behind a viewing surface of a display device, said location information identifying a location of said first short range wireless device with respect to the viewing surface of said display device;
enabling, based upon the location information, a first contactless user interface icon to be displayed on said viewing surface of said display device in front of or proximate to said location of said first short range wireless device such that the first contactless user interface icon indicates where a user can position another short range wireless device for communication with the first short range wireless device.

Abstract
A system and method for enabling user interface elements to be displayed on a display device is disclosed. The technology includes a method for enabling user interface elements to be displayed on a display device. The method includes accessing location information corresponding to a first short range wireless device coupled with the display device wherein the location information identifies the location of the first short range wireless device with respect to a viewing surface of the display device. The method also includes enabling a first contactless user interface icon to be displayed on the viewing surface of the display device wherein the contactless user interface icon is displayed on the viewing surface proximate the location of the first short range wireless device.
