RADAR-AIDED WARNING SYSTEM FOR PACEMAKER WEARERS AGAINST POTENTIAL ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE BY MOBILE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18458044 titled 'RADAR-AIDED WARNING SYSTEM FOR PACEMAKER WEARERS AGAINST POTENTIAL ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE BY MOBILE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for warning a wearer of a pacemaker about potential electromagnetic interference from a radar-aided mobile device.
- Obtaining sensor data from an electronic device's sensor
- Detecting electromagnetic interference (EMI) risk based on the sensor data
- Determining if a condition for executing an EMI risk mitigation function is met
- Performing the EMI risk mitigation function if the condition is met, which may include adjusting RF transmit power or outputting an alert to warn the user about the pacemaker in relation to the detected EMI risk
- Potential Applications:**
- Medical devices - Wearable technology - Radar systems
- Problems Solved:**
- Protecting pacemaker wearers from potential EMI risks - Ensuring the safe use of electronic devices near individuals with pacemakers
- Benefits:**
- Improved safety for individuals with pacemakers - Enhanced awareness of potential EMI risks from electronic devices
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for warning a wearer of a pacemaker against potential electromagnetic interference by a radar-aided mobile device is provided. The method includes obtaining sensor data from a sensor of an electronic device. The method includes detecting electromagnetic interference (EMI) risk based on the sensor data obtained. The method includes determining whether a condition for executing an EMI risk mitigation function is satisfied, based on the detected EMI risk. The method includes, in response to determining that the condition for executing the EMI risk mitigation function is satisfied, performing the EMI risk mitigation function. In some embodiments, performing the EMI risk mitigation function includes at least one of: adjusting a radio frequency (RF) transmit power; and outputting an alert that warns a user of the electronic device about a pacemaker in relation to the detected EMI risk.
