Methods, mobile terminal devices and computer program products are provided that are capable of reducing power consumption by detecting error events signifying unsuccessful short-range wireless communication activation operations and adjusting the frequency of the activation of the reader based on the detection of the error events. In this regard, the invention prevents the device from powering-up the processor for the read operation when the mobile terminal is in the vicinity of a wireless communication system whose signals are being received by the mobile terminal but ace not intendedfor the use of the mobile terminal. By limiting the powering- up of the processor, power of the mobile terminal is preserved. |
