ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CURRENT CONSUMPTION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONNECTED WITH COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17987479 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CURRENT CONSUMPTION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONNECTED WITH COMMUNICATION NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with multiple antennas that can connect to different communication networks. The device includes a communication processor that can set up calls with external devices through one of the networks. It can also monitor the call quality and reduce the number of antennas used for reception if the call quality meets a certain condition.

  • The electronic device has multiple antennas and a communication processor.
  • The communication processor can connect to either the first or second communication network.
  • It can establish calls with external devices through the first network.
  • The processor can monitor the call quality during the call.
  • If the call quality meets a designated condition, the processor can reduce the number of antennas used for reception.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phones and smartphones
  • Wireless communication devices
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Communication systems in vehicles

Problems Solved

  • Call quality issues during communication with external devices
  • Efficient use of antennas for reception
  • Optimization of communication performance

Benefits

  • Improved call quality and communication performance
  • Reduction in the number of antennas used, potentially saving power and resources
  • Enhanced user experience with better connectivity and fewer call drops


Original Abstract Submitted

An example electronic device may include a plurality of antennas; and at least one communication processor communicating with a first communication network or a second communication network through the plurality of antennas. The at least one communication processor may be configured to set up a call with an external electronic device through the first communication network, identify information related to call quality in a call connected state with the external electronic device, and perform an operation for reducing a number of antennas for reception among the plurality of antennas based on identifying that the information related to the call quality meets a designated condition.
