Claim Text:
1. A system having a processor that is configured to control the system to perform operations comprising: providing first wireless communications to a first device and second wireless communications to a second device concurrently with the first wireless communications to the first device; responsive to a first orientation between the first device and the second device, using alphabet element discrimination to provide the first wireless communications and the second wireless communications to the first device and the second device, respectively, by using a first alphabet element to communicate with the first device and refraining from using a second alphabet element to communicate with the first device while the second alphabet element is being used to communicate with the second device; responsive to a second orientation between the first device and the second device, using antenna pattern discrimination to provide the first wireless communications and the second wireless communications to the first device and the second device, respectively, and using the first alphabet element and the second alphabet element to communicate with the first device via a first antenna pattern that is formed by an antenna of the system and using the first alphabet element and the second alphabet element to communicate with the second device co-frequency with the communications of the first device via a second antenna pattern that is formed by the antenna of the system; responsive to the second orientation between the first device and the second device, providing a gain by the first antenna pattern in a direction associated with the first device that exceeds a gain provided by the first antenna pattern in a direction associated with the second device; and providing a gain by the second antenna pattern in a direction associated with the second device that exceeds a gain provided by the second antenna pattern in a direction associated with the first device; and changing at least one of the first antenna pattern and the second antenna pattern responsive to a change in said second orientation between the first device and the second device; wherein the second orientation between the first device and the second device comprises a distance between the first device and the second device that is greater than a distance between the first device and the second device corresponding to said first orientation between the first device and the second device.
