2. The bridging device according to claim 1 , wherein the device inside the mobile phone comprises a near field communication device on a motherboard, on a SIM card or on a SD card.
3. The bridging device according to claims 1 or 2, wherein the further device outside the mobile phone comprises an external near field communication enabled device such as a reader, a point-of-sale device or the like.
4. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 3, wherein the second antenna is capable of communicating with the device by means of the near field communication protocol.
5. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein the first antenna is capable of communicating with the further device by means of a near field communication protocol.
6. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 5, wherein the near field communication protocol is utilizing an ISO/IEC18092 and ECMA-340 standard operating at an RF frequency of 13.56 MHz.
7. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 3, wherein the second antenna is capable of communicating with the SIM-card using an ultra high frequency communication protocol.
8. The bridging device according to claim 7, wherein the ultra high frequency communication protocol is utilizing an ISO/I EC18092 and ECMA-340 standard operating at an RF frequency of 2.45 GHz.
9. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 8, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are formed as electrically conductive traces on the substrate.
10. The bridging device according to claim 9, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are capable of communicating with each other using at least one electrically conductive layer on the substrate or using a track connecting the two antennae which either penetrates through the battery or wraps around the battery.
11. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 10, wherein an amplifier is connected between the first antenna and the second antenna so as to amplify communication signals transmitted from the first antenna.
12. The bridging device according to claim 1 1 , wherein the amplifier is connected to the battery or to an induction charger module so as to provide power for the amplifier.
13. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 1 to 12, wherein a frequency converter module is attached to the substrate between the amplifier and the second antenna so as to convert communication signals transmitted between the first antenna and the second antenna.
14. The bridging device according to claim 13, wherein the frequency converter module is connected to the battery or to the induction charger module so as to provide power for the frequency converter module.
15. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 14, wherein a transceiver module is attached to the substrate between the first antenna and the second antenna so as to modulate and/or demodulate communication signals transmitted between the first antenna and the second antenna.
16. The bridging device according to claim 15, wherein the transceiver module is connected to the battery or to an induction charger module so as to provide power for the transceiver module.
17. The bridging device according to any of claims 1 to 16, wherein a first transceiver module and a second transceiver module are attached to the substrate between the first antenna and the second antenna so as to modulate and/or demodulate communication signals transmitted between the first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module operate on a substantially different frequency.
18. The bridging device according to claim 17, wherein the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module are connected to the battery or to an induction charger module so as to provide power for the first transceiver module and the second transceiver module.
19.
