NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION FOR PAIRING WEARABLE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322861 titled 'NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION FOR PAIRING WEARABLE DEVICES
The abstract describes a system that includes a user device with a near field communication (NFC) interface, a short-range wireless communication interface for local communication, processors, and storage medium with instructions for various functions.
- The system can detect near field proximity between the user device and an NFC-enabled device, receive pairing information from the NFC-enabled device, and establish communication with a wireless-enabled device in the local physical space.
- It can receive location information from the wireless-enabled device and determine the location of the user device in the local physical space relative to a reference point using this information.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in smart home systems for seamless device pairing and location tracking. - It could also be applied in retail environments for personalized customer interactions based on location.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of pairing devices using NFC technology. - Enables accurate location tracking within a local physical space.
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience through seamless device communication. - Improved efficiency in location-based services.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Location-Based Services for Smart Environments This technology could be commercially used in smart homes, retail stores, and other environments where precise location tracking and device communication are essential for personalized experiences.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of NFC technology, short-range wireless communication, and location tracking systems to identify prior art related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in NFC technology, short-range wireless communication protocols, and location tracking algorithms to enhance the capabilities of this system.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this system improve user experience in smart home environments? - This system enhances user experience by simplifying device pairing and enabling accurate location tracking for personalized services. 2. What are the potential security implications of using NFC technology for device communication? - The system may need to implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data transmitted between devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system includes a user device having a near field communication (nfc) interface. the system also includes a short-range wireless communication interface configured to communicate with devices in a local physical space. the system also includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for detecting, via the nfc interface, near field proximity between the user device and a nfc-enabled device, receiving pairing information from the nfc-enabled device via the nfc interface, processing the pairing information to establish communication between the system and a wireless-enabled device located in the local physical space via the short-range wireless communication interface, receiving location information from the wireless-enabled device via the short-range wireless communication interface, and determining a location of the user device in the local physical space, relative to at least one reference point, using the location information.
