==ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING DATA THROUGH UWB COMMUNICATION, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE OPERATING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456204 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING DATA THROUGH UWB COMMUNICATION, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE OPERATING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an electronic device that can communicate through two different channels: ultra wide band (UWB) and another communication method. The device includes a processor that can receive advertising messages from external devices requesting position measurement. 

* The device has a first communication circuit for UWB communication and a second communication circuit for another communication method.
* The processor can activate the first communication circuit when it receives an advertising message that meets certain conditions.
* The device can receive polling messages from external devices for position measurement.
* The processor can check if it should receive a second polling message within a designated time after receiving the first polling message.
* If the second polling message is received, the device can broadcast a response message with distance measurement information between the device and the external devices.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Indoor positioning systems: The device can be used in indoor environments to accurately measure the distance between the device and external devices for positioning purposes.
* Asset tracking: The technology can be used to track the location of assets within a facility or warehouse.
* Personal safety: The device can be used in personal safety applications to locate individuals in emergency situations.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Accurate distance measurement: The technology allows for precise measurement of distances between the device and external devices, enabling more accurate positioning and tracking.
* Efficient communication: The device can communicate through different channels, optimizing communication based on the specific requirements of the application.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved positioning accuracy: The technology enables more accurate positioning in indoor environments where GPS signals may be limited.
* Versatile communication: The device can communicate through multiple channels, providing flexibility in different applications.
* Enhanced safety and security: The technology can be used in personal safety applications to quickly locate individuals in emergency situations.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device may include: a first communication circuit for transmitting or receiving data through first communication by using an ultra wide band (UWB); a second communication circuit for transmitting or receiving data through second communication, which differs from the first communication; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: receive, from a first external electronic device and a second external electronic device, through the second communication circuit, an advertising message for requesting position measurement of the electronic device; activate the first communication circuit in response to the advertising message satisfying a designated condition; receive, from the first external electronic device, a first polling message for the position measurement of the electronic device; check whether to receive, from the second external electronic device, a second polling message for the position measurement of the electronic device for a time designated from the reception time of the first polling message; and broadcast, in response to the reception of the second polling message, a first response message including information for measurement of the distance between the electronic device and the first external electronic device and information for measurement of the distance between the electronic device and the second external electronic device. Various other embodiments are possible.
