1. A wireless device comprising:
- an antenna system comprising at least one inductive element and two or more capacitive elements;
a switching component configured to change a circuit configuration of the capacitive elements; and
a controller configured to transmit a signal using the antenna system and to receive a response from a first device, to determine a communications protocol associated with the first device and to change a configuration of the antenna system in response to the determined communications protocol by actuating the switching component, wherein the controller is configured to transmit a first signal in accordance with a first protocol and to wait a predetermined period of time for a response, and then to transmit a second signal in accordance with a second protocol if no response is received.

7. A method comprising:
-
transmitting a signal to an antenna system comprising at least one inductive element and two or more capacitive elements; receiving a response from a first device at a controller; determining a communications protocol associated with the first device at the controller; and changing a configuration of the antenna system at the controller in response to the determined communications protocol by actuating a switching component configured to change a circuit configuration of the capacitive elements; transmitting a first signal in accordance with a first protocol from the controller; waiting a predetermined period of time for a response; and transmitting a second signal in accordance with a second protocol from the controller if no response is received. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
