PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDING POSITIONING COMMUNICATION THROUGH UWB COMMUNICATION CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17941769 titled 'PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDING POSITIONING COMMUNICATION THROUGH UWB COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes two wireless communication circuits and a processor. The device performs ultra wide band (UWB) communication for position detection with external electronic devices. If a handover event occurs, the device stops the position detection through the UWB communication channel and transmits communication information to another external electronic device using a different wireless communication circuit. This information is used by the second device to perform UWB communication with the external devices.

  • The device has two wireless communication circuits - one for UWB communication and another for different wireless communication.
  • It performs UWB communication for position detection with external electronic devices.
  • If a handover event occurs, the device stops the UWB position detection and transmits communication information to another external device.
  • The communication information is used by the second device to perform UWB communication with the external devices.

Potential Applications

  • Indoor positioning systems
  • Asset tracking
  • Smart home automation
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

  • Seamless handover of position detection from one device to another
  • Efficient communication between devices using different wireless communication technologies
  • Improved accuracy and reliability of position detection

Benefits

  • Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted position detection
  • Increased flexibility in communication options for devices
  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in position detection


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a first wireless communication circuit configured to perform ultra wide band (UWB) communication; a second wireless communication circuit configured to perform different wireless communication; and a processor configured to: perform first UWB communication for position detection through a first UWB communication channel with a plurality of first external electronic devices using the first wireless communication circuit, detect a first event corresponding to a handover of the position detection to a second external electronic device while the first UWB communication is performed, and based on the first event, stop the position detection through the first UWB communication channel, and transmit communication information to the second external electronic device using the second wireless communication circuit, wherein the communication information is used by the second external electronic device to perform a second UWB communication with the plurality of first external electronic devices.
