ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETERMINING POSITION OF EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 16980735 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETERMINING POSITION OF EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a portable electronic device that can communicate with an external electronic device using multiple antennas. The device includes a communication circuit, at least one processor, and a memory.
- The device can receive a first signal with first data from the external electronic device using two antennas.
- It can also receive a second signal with second data from the external electronic device using a third antenna.
- By analyzing the phase difference of the first signal, time information of the first data, and time information of the second data, the device can determine the position of the external electronic device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Location tracking: The device can be used to track the position of an external electronic device, such as a smartphone or a wearable device.
- Asset tracking: This technology can be used to track the location of valuable assets, such as vehicles or equipment.
- Indoor navigation: By determining the position of an external electronic device, the device can assist with indoor navigation in places like shopping malls or airports.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved accuracy: By using multiple antennas and analyzing phase differences, the device can provide more accurate position information compared to traditional methods.
- Versatility: The device can communicate with the external electronic device using different antennas, allowing for flexibility in different scenarios.
Benefits of this technology:
- Portable and convenient: The device is portable and can be easily carried around.
- Efficient communication: By using multiple antennas, the device can establish reliable communication with the external electronic device.
- Enhanced functionality: The ability to determine the position of the external electronic device opens up possibilities for various applications, such as location tracking and indoor navigation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A portable electronic device is disclosed that includes a communication circuit electrically connected to a first antenna or a third antenna and electrically connected to a second antenna, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory may store one or more instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive a first signal including first data from an external electronic device using the first antenna and the second antenna, receive a second signal including second data from the external electronic device using the third antenna, and determine a position of the external electronic device based on a phase difference of the first signal, time information of the first data, and time information of the second data. In addition to the above, various embodiments understood through the present disclosure are possible.
