MOBILE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE PERFORMING DEVICE UNLOCK BASED UPON NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION (NFC) AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A mobile wireless communications device may include a near field communication (NFC) transceiver, a geo-position determining device, and a controller coupled with the NFC transceiver and the geo-position determining device. The controller may be configured to receive a tag geo-position from an NFC tag when in close proximity thereto via the NFC transceiver, determine the geo-position of the mobile wireless communications device using the geo-position determining device, and perform at least one device unlock operation when the tag geo-position is within a threshold distance from the mobile wireless communications device geo-position.
