DATA COMMUNICATION CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113774 titled 'DATA COMMUNICATION CONNECTOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a data connector that uses radiofrequency antenna elements to communicate data bidirectionally with another data connector.

  • The data connector includes adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements forming a data antenna array and a control channel antenna element.
  • Each antenna element in the data antenna array communicates a subchannel signal to the corresponding antenna element on the second data connector.
  • The control channel antenna element manages data communications through the data antenna array.
  • The data connector has an attachment interface for removable attachment to the second data connector.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various communication systems, such as wireless networks, IoT devices, and smart home devices.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficient and reliable data communication between two data connectors using radiofrequency antenna elements.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include faster data transfer speeds, improved data communication reliability, and easier connectivity between data connectors.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include telecommunications equipment, IoT devices, smart home systems, and industrial automation systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing data connectors with traditional wired communication interfaces.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does this technology compare to other wireless data communication technologies in terms of speed and reliability? 2. Are there any limitations to the distance over which the data connectors can communicate effectively using this technology?


Original Abstract Submitted

a first data connector for communicating data with a second data connector includes a data communication interface including adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements, wherein a plurality of the adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements forms a radiofrequency data antenna array and another radiofrequency antenna element of the adjacent radiofrequency antenna elements forms a radiofrequency control channel antenna element, each radiofrequency antenna element of the radiofrequency data antenna array being configured to communicate a subchannel signal of the data to a corresponding radiofrequency data antenna element of a data communication interface of the second data connector bidirectionally. the radiofrequency control channel antenna element is configured to manage data communications through the radiofrequency data antenna array. an attachment interface is positioned on the first data connector and configured to removably attach the first data connector to the second data connector.
