ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396179 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING BLUETOOTH COMMUNICATION, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can adjust the driving clock frequency of its processor based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) of a Bluetooth communication signal. This adjustment is made while executing different functions using the device's speaker, depending on whether the functions are being executed together or separately.
- The electronic device includes a speaker, a communication module supporting Bluetooth communication, one or more processors, and memory storing programs with computer-executable instructions.
- The device identifies the RSSI of a Bluetooth signal received from an external device, determines if two functions using the speaker are being executed together, and adjusts the processor's driving clock frequency based on the RSSI and function execution.
- When the RSSI indicates a weak electric field, the driving clock is adjusted to a higher frequency value, and when it indicates a strong electric field, the clock is adjusted to a lower frequency value.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that use Bluetooth communication and speakers, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart home devices.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient power management: By adjusting the processor's clock frequency based on the signal strength, the device can optimize power consumption. 2. Improved performance: The device can ensure smooth operation of functions using the speaker by adjusting the clock frequency accordingly.
Benefits
1. Enhanced user experience: Users can enjoy uninterrupted audio playback or calls without performance issues. 2. Extended battery life: By optimizing power usage, the device can prolong battery life, especially in situations with varying signal strengths.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimized Power Management in Bluetooth Devices for Enhanced User Experience"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be patents related to power management in electronic devices based on signal strength indications for wireless communication technologies.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device determine the specific frequency values for the driving clock based on the RSSI ranges?
The abstract mentions adjusting the clock frequency to a first or second value based on the RSSI range, but it does not provide details on how these specific values are determined.
Are there any limitations or drawbacks to adjusting the processor's clock frequency based on the RSSI of the Bluetooth signal?
While the abstract highlights the benefits of this technology, it does not mention any potential limitations or drawbacks that may arise from dynamically changing the clock frequency.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a speaker, a communication module for supporting Bluetooth communication, one or more processors and, memory storing one or more programs including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to identify the received signal strength indication (RSSI) of a Bluetooth communication signal received from an external electronic device via the communication module, during executing a first function using the speaker, identify whether a second function using the speaker is executed together with the first function, control a frequency value of a driving clock of the one or more processor based on the RSSI and the first function and the second function being executed together, adjust the driving clock of the one or more processor to the first frequency value when the RSSI is included in a first range indicating a weak electric field, and adjust the driving clock to a second frequency value that is lower than the first frequency value when the RSSI is included in a second range indicating a strong electric field.
