METHOD OF RECOGNIZING IMMERSION AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18085582 titled 'METHOD OF RECOGNIZING IMMERSION AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
An electronic device has an antenna, an RF circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit receives a feedback signal from the RF circuit, determines the impedance of the antenna based on the feedback signal, detects water immersion in the device based on the impedance, and performs a set operation if water immersion is detected.
Bullet Points
- Electronic device with antenna, RF circuit, and control circuit
- Control circuit receives feedback signal from RF circuit
- Determines impedance of antenna based on feedback signal
- Detects water immersion in device based on impedance
- Performs set operation if water immersion is detected
Potential Applications
- Mobile phones and other portable electronic devices
- Wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Medical devices and implants
Problems Solved
- Water damage to electronic devices
- Early detection of water immersion
- Preventing further damage or malfunction due to water exposure
Benefits
- Protection against water damage
- Increased device lifespan
- Improved reliability and performance
- Cost savings from avoiding repairs or replacements due to water damage
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes an antenna which transmits and receives a radio frequency (RF) signal, an RF circuit which processes the RF signal, and a control circuit which controls the RF circuit. The control circuit receives, from the RF circuit, a feedback signal, which the RF signal to be provided back as feedback from the antenna to the RF circuit, determines an impedance of the antenna based on the feedback signal, determines whether a water immersion of the electronic device occurs based on the determined impedance, and performs a set operation once it is determined that the water immersion of the electronic device occurs.
