==POWER TOOL AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519757 titled 'POWER TOOL AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The power tool described in the patent application includes a wireless communication controller that can operate in different states, such as a connectable state and an advertisement state. In the connectable state, the controller transmits tool operational data to an external device and receives tool configuration data from the external device. In the advertisement state, the controller transmits the unique tool identifier when powered by a backup power source.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A power tool having multiple wireless communication states and a method of wirelessly communicating by a power tool. The power tool includes a motor, a battery pack interface that selectively receives a battery pack, a backup power source, and a wireless communication controller coupled to the backup power source and the battery pack interface. The wireless communication controller operates in a connectable state when coupled to a battery pack and transmits tool operational data to the external device and receives tool configuration data from the external device. The wireless communication controller operates in an advertisement state when the wireless communication controller is coupled to and powered by the backup power source. In the advertisement state, the wireless communication controller is configured to transmit the unique tool identifier. The external device may also display an indication of the communication state of the power tool.
