MASTER DEVICE IDENTIFYING ADDRESS OF SLAVE DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATING METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18299006 titled 'MASTER DEVICE IDENTIFYING ADDRESS OF SLAVE DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATING METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a master device that can identify the address of a selected slave device from a group of similar devices by storing and transmitting a list of addresses to a serial bus, and then identifying the address based on an identification signal.

  • The master device stores addresses of multiple slave devices in a candidate group.
  • It transmits address signals corresponding to each address to a serial bus.
  • The address of the selected slave device is identified based on the level of the identification signal.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Efficient identification of a specific slave device from a group of similar devices.
  • Use of an address list and serial bus for transmitting address signals.
  • Identification based on the level of the identification signal.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in various industries such as manufacturing, automation, and telecommunications for efficient device identification and communication.

Problems Solved

  • Streamlines the process of identifying specific slave devices in a group.
  • Reduces errors in device communication and control.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency in device identification.
  • Enhanced communication and control of slave devices.
  • Reduction in errors and delays in operations.

Commercial Applications

  • Industrial automation systems.
  • Telecommunication networks.
  • Smart home devices.

Questions about Device Identification

Question 1

How does the master device determine the level of the identification signal to identify the address of the slave device?

The master device analyzes the level of the identification signal corresponding to each address signal transmitted to the serial bus to determine the address of the selected slave device.

Question 2

What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale industrial systems?

Implementing this technology in large-scale industrial systems may face challenges such as scalability, compatibility with existing systems, and ensuring reliable communication between master and slave devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A master device identifying the address of the slave device may, when identifying a slave device selected from a candidate group including a plurality of slave devices performing the same operation but having different addresses, store an address list including an address of each of a plurality of slave devices included in the candidate group, may transmit an address signal corresponding to each of the addresses included in the address list to a serial bus, and may identify the address of the slave device based on a level of an identification signal corresponding to the address signal.
