ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING MAGNETIC SENSOR, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449414 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING MAGNETIC SENSOR, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a magnetic sensor, wireless communication circuit, processor, and memory. The magnetic sensor is used to identify the intensity of a magnetic field. The processor is configured to use the magnetic sensor to identify multiple intensities of the magnetic field during a specific period. It then determines whether a reference intensity has been updated based on the identified intensities. If the reference intensity has been updated, the processor identifies a first state of the electronic device by comparing the latest intensity with the updated reference intensity. Finally, the electronic device performs a function based on the identified first state.

• The electronic device includes a magnetic sensor to measure the intensity of a magnetic field.
• It has a wireless communication circuit for wireless communication.
• The processor is responsible for processing data and instructions.
• The memory is used to store instructions and is connected to the magnetic sensor, wireless communication circuit, and processor.
• The processor uses the magnetic sensor to identify multiple intensities of the magnetic field during a specific period.
• It determines if a reference intensity has been updated based on the identified intensities.
• The processor identifies a first state of the electronic device by comparing the latest intensity with the updated reference intensity.
• The electronic device performs a function based on the identified first state.
