SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING RF COEXISTENCE BETWEEN ACCESSORIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240080054 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING RF COEXISTENCE BETWEEN ACCESSORIES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for a first electronic device to determine if it is disposed in a second electronic device, based on voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) values at its transceiver. If it is determined to be in the second device, the first device may adjust its radio frequency coexistence actions to avoid interference.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
* First electronic device determines VSWR values at its transceiver. * Determines if it is moving and/or disposed in the second electronic device based on VSWR values. * Adjusts radio frequency coexistence actions if disposed in the second device to avoid interference, such as reducing radio power or deactivating its radio.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Wireless communication devices
- IoT devices
- Smart home systems
Problems Solved
- Interference between electronic devices
- Radio frequency coexistence issues
- Ensuring optimal performance of electronic devices in close proximity
Benefits
- Improved communication reliability
- Enhanced user experience
- Efficient use of radio frequencies
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing radio frequency coexistence in:
- Smartphones
- Laptops
- Wearable devices
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of signal strength indicators in electronic devices to determine proximity to other devices.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life of electronic devices?
This article does not address the potential impact of these radio frequency coexistence actions on the battery life of the electronic devices. It would be important to understand if these adjustments lead to increased power consumption.
Can this technology be applied to non-electronic devices for proximity detection?
The article does not mention if this method could be adapted for use in non-electronic devices for proximity detection. It would be interesting to explore the potential applications beyond electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
to more accurately determine whether a first electronic device is disposed in a second electronic device, which may be an enclosure for the first electronic device, the first electronic device may determine voltage standing wave ratio (vswr) values at its transceiver, and determine whether it is moving and/or disposed in the second electronic device based on the vswr values. if the first electronic device determines the it is disposed in the second electronic device, then the first electronic device may perform radio frequency coexistence actions, such as backing off (e.g., reducing) radio power or deactivating its radio to avoid radio frequency coexistence issues with the second electronic device.
