ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17990041 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can establish a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) connection with another device and measure the distance between them using different distance measurement schemes. If the distance falls within a set range, a second BLE connection is established. If the second distance measurement is shorter than a specified distance, an ultra-wide band (UWB) technology is used to measure the distance between the devices.

  • The device can establish a BLE connection with an external device.
  • It can measure the distance between the devices using different distance measurement schemes.
  • If the distance falls within a set range, a second BLE connection is established.
  • If the second distance measurement is shorter than a specified distance, UWB technology is used to measure the distance between the devices.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in proximity-based applications, such as smart home devices that automatically adjust settings based on the distance between the user and the device.
  • It can be applied in location tracking systems to accurately determine the position of objects or individuals.

Problems Solved

  • The device solves the problem of accurately measuring distances between devices using different distance measurement schemes.
  • It addresses the issue of establishing reliable connections based on distance thresholds.

Benefits

  • The device provides flexibility in measuring distances by utilizing different distance measurement schemes.
  • It allows for more accurate distance measurements, leading to improved proximity-based applications.
  • The technology enables efficient and reliable connection establishment based on distance thresholds.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device configured to establish a first Bluetooth low energy (BLE) connection with an external electronic device, measure a distance between the external electronic device and the electronic device based on a first distance measurement scheme, identify whether the distance is within a set range between a first distance and a second distance. Based on a determination that the distance is within the set range, measure a distance between the external electronic device and the electronic device based on a second distance measurement scheme and establish a second BLE connection with the external electronic device. Based on a determination that the distance measured based on the second distance measurement scheme is shorter than the second distance, measure a distance between the electronic device and the external electronic device based on an ultra-wide band (UWB) technology.
