POWER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336228 titled 'POWER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
Abstract
A power system is described that includes a central unit, a zone unit, and a downstream unit. The zone unit is capable of communicating with the central unit and includes a semiconductor switch and a zone power supply driver. The downstream unit is woken up when the semiconductor switch of the zone unit enters an ON state.
Patent/Innovation Explanation
- The power system consists of a central unit, a zone unit, and a downstream unit.
- The zone unit can communicate with the central unit.
- The zone unit has a semiconductor switch that can connect the downstream unit to a power supply.
- The zone unit also has a zone power supply driver that wakes up the zone unit when it receives a unique identifier from the central unit.
- When the semiconductor switch of the zone unit turns ON, the downstream unit is woken up.
Potential Applications
- Smart home systems: The power system can be used to control and wake up various devices in a smart home, such as lights, appliances, and security systems.
- Industrial automation: The power system can be applied in industrial settings to control and activate machinery and equipment.
- Energy management: The system can be used to efficiently manage and control the power supply to different zones or areas, optimizing energy usage.
Problems Solved
- Energy wastage: The power system ensures that the downstream unit is only powered when necessary, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
- Remote control: The system allows for remote control and activation of devices, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
- Efficient power management: The system enables efficient power management by selectively activating specific zones or devices based on demand.
Benefits
- Energy savings: The power system helps in conserving energy by only powering devices when required.
- Convenience: The system allows for remote control and activation of devices, providing convenience to users.
- Improved power management: The system enables efficient power management by selectively activating zones or devices, leading to optimized energy usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A power system includes a central unit, a zone unit capable of communicating with the central unit, and a downstream unit. The zone unit includes a semiconductor switch capable of electrically connecting the downstream unit to a power supply, and a zone power supply driver capable of waking up the zone unit in response to reception of an unique identifier transmitted from the central unit. The downstream unit is woken up when the semiconductor switch of the zone unit enters an ON state.
