ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ANTENNAS FACING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17963540 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ANTENNAS FACING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with two antennas that can receive signals from different directions. The device has a processor that determines the quality of the signals received by each antenna. Based on this analysis, the processor enables either one antenna or both antennas.

  • The device has two antennas, each facing a different direction.
  • A processor analyzes the quality of signals received by each antenna.
  • If the quality of one signal is greater than or equal to a reference value, both antennas are enabled.
  • If the quality of one signal is less than the reference value but greater than the other signal, only that antenna is enabled.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication devices, such as smartphones or tablets, can benefit from improved signal reception in different directions.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices can have better connectivity by utilizing multiple antennas.
  • Autonomous vehicles can enhance their communication capabilities by using multiple antennas to receive signals from different sources.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The device can automatically switch between antennas based on signal quality, ensuring optimal reception.
  • Users can experience improved signal strength and stability in areas with varying signal conditions.
  • The technology allows for better utilization of available signals, reducing the chances of dropped connections.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced signal reception and connectivity in various environments.
  • Improved user experience with fewer signal interruptions or dropped connections.
  • Increased reliability and efficiency of wireless communication devices.
  • Potential for better network coverage and performance in crowded areas.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a first antenna facing a first direction, a second antenna facing a second direction, and at least one processor configured to obtain a first value indicating a quality of a first signal received via a beam formed by using the first antenna and a second value indicating a quality of a second signal received via a beam formed by using the second antenna; based on identifying that a value from among the first value and the second value is greater than or equal to a reference value, enable both the first antenna and the second antenna; based on identifying that the first value is less than the reference value and is greater than or equal to the second value, enable the first antenna; and based on identifying that the second value is less than the reference value and is greater than the first value, enable the second antenna.
