Abstract:
1. A method for use in providing enhanced security for wireless telecommunications devices, the method comprising: receiving, at a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled wireless telecommunications device, a signal from a terminal device indicating initiation of a commercial transaction; using a sensor of the wireless telecommunications device to help derive physical context data associated with the wireless telecommunications device; using the physical context data and conformation data to determine whether the wireless telecommunications device has been moved in a gesture that is consistent with a use of the wireless telecommunications device for conducting a commercial transaction; permitting further communication if the determination determines that the wireless telecommunications device has been moved in a predetermined gesture and speed that is consistent with a use of the wireless telecommunications device for conducting a commercial transaction and blocking and preventing further communication if the determination determines that the wireless telecommunications device has not been moved in a predetermined gesture or speed that is consistent with a use of the wireless telecommunications device for conducting commercial transaction, wherein the communication includes exchanging commercial transaction information with a wireless terminals; and displaying, on the NFC enabled wireless telecommunications device, information to a user of the device requesting confirmation from the user to proceed with the commercial transaction.
