MOBILE DEVICE FOR PERFORMING POWER LINE COMMUNICATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18073133 titled 'MOBILE DEVICE FOR PERFORMING POWER LINE COMMUNICATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a mobile device that includes a power line communication module, a frequency/duty detector, and a control circuit.

  • The mobile device communicates data with an external device via a power line.
  • It receives a first preamble signal from the external device during a first preamble interval.
  • It receives a voltage signal as the data during a data reception interval following the first preamble interval.
  • It demodulates the voltage signal to provide a demodulated voltage signal.
  • The frequency/duty detector detects the frequency and duty of the first preamble signal.
  • The control circuit performs a data determination operation on the demodulated voltage signal during a data period, using the detected frequency and duty.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Home automation systems that use power line communication to control various devices.
  • Smart grid systems that enable communication between power utilities and consumers.
  • Industrial control systems that utilize power line communication for data transmission.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enables communication over power lines, eliminating the need for additional wiring or wireless communication.
  • Provides a reliable and secure method of data transmission.
  • Allows for efficient use of existing power line infrastructure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies installation and reduces costs by utilizing existing power lines.
  • Provides a robust and stable communication method.
  • Enhances the functionality and connectivity of mobile devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A mobile device includes; a power line communication ( ) module that communicates data with an external device via a power line, receives a first preamble signal from the external device during a first preamble interval, receives a voltage signal as the data during a data reception interval following the first preamble interval, and demodulates the voltage signal to provide a demodulated voltage signal, a frequency/duty detector that detects a frequency and a duty of the first preamble signal, and a control circuit that performs signal a data determination operation on a demodulated voltage signal during a data period and using the first detected frequency and the first detected duty.
