Near-field wireless device
First Claim
1. A wireless device, comprising:
- a first near-field device, including a near-field receiver, configured to be coupled to a first surface;
wherein the first near-field device is configured to receive a received near-field signal having a received signal strength (RSS);
wherein the received near-field signal originates from a second near-field device having a near-field transmitter and configured to be coupled to a second surface;
wherein the second near-field device is configured to generate a transmitted near-field signal having a transmitted signal strength (TSS);
wherein the TSS of the transmitted near-field signal interacts with a third surface to transform into the RSS of the received near-field signal; and
wherein the first near-field device is configured to translate a magnitude of the RSS to a distance of the first and/or second surfaces from the third surface.
