Abstract
A detection device is provided. The detection device includes a transmitter and a detector. The transmitter supplies an induced current to an antenna and to adjust a strength of an induced voltage generated in the antenna by adjusting the induced current. The detector monitors the strength of the induced voltage of the antenna and generates a control signal for controlling the induced current to the antenna based on the monitored strength of the induced voltage of the antenna.

10. A communication system, comprising:
-
an antenna; a card detection device supplying an induced current to the antenna for detecting a card, monitoring a strength of an induced voltage of the antenna, adjusting the strength of the induced voltage generated in the antenna by adjusting the induced current supplied to the antenna for detecting the card, detecting whether the card is positioned within a predetermined range of the communication system and if so, generating a wake-up signal; and a receiver being in a power-down state when the card is positioned out of the predetermined range of the communication system, wherein the receiver wakes up in response to the wake-up signal, and communicates with the card. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A near-field communication (NFC) system, comprising:
-
a reader module including a transmitter and an NFC device detector, wherein the reader module transitions from a power-down state to a power-up state when an NFC device is detected within a predetermined range of the NFC system, and communicates with the NFC device in the power-up state; and an antenna, wherein the transmitter supplies, for detecting the NFC device, an induced current to the antenna and adjusts a strength of an induced voltage generated in the antenna by adjusting the induced current in response to a control signal output from the NFC device detector, wherein, for detecting the NFC device, the NFC device detector detects the strength of the induced voltage of the antenna, determines whether to adjust the induced current, and outputs the control signal for controlling the induced current to the antenna to the transmitter based on the detected strength of the induced voltage of the antenna. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
