Abstract

Claims (16)

1. A method, comprising:

determining a reading element position, velocity, or acceleration, or combinations thereof, in relation to a payment device;

changing, by the payment device, a plurality of bit parameters based on length of the payment device, the determined position, or the determined velocity, or combinations thereof; and

communicating a total number of data bits to the reading element while the reading element remains within a communication distance of the payment device,

wherein the changing a plurality of bit parameters includes changing a first value of a communication parameter for a first bit of the total number of data bits by a first amount, and

a second value of the communication parameter for a second bit of the total number of data bits is different from the first value.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an acceleration factor.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an acceleration factor,

wherein the communication parameter is bit period.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication parameter is bit period, and

the second value of the bit period is a minimum bit period.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication parameter is bit period,

the second value of the bit period is a minimum bit period, and

the first value of the bit period is less than the second value.
