COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18563064 titled 'COMMUNICATION TERMINAL AND CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a communication terminal and control method that can improve reception sensitivity by adjusting the orientation of the terminal based on the received signal levels from different directional beams.
- The communication terminal has an antenna capable of transmitting and receiving multiple beams with different directions.
- A communication unit in the terminal communicates with a base station using these beams and measures the received signal levels from each beam.
- A control unit analyzes the received signal levels and prompts the user to change the orientation of the terminal for better reception based on the data.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Communication terminal with multi-beam antenna for improved reception sensitivity.
- Control method based on received signal levels to optimize terminal orientation.
- Real-time adjustment of terminal orientation for better communication quality.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in various communication devices such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices to enhance signal reception in different environments.
Problems Solved:
- Addressing poor reception issues in communication terminals.
- Improving user experience by ensuring better signal quality.
- Enhancing overall communication reliability.
Benefits:
- Improved reception sensitivity in communication devices.
- Enhanced signal quality and reliability.
- Better user experience with consistent communication performance.
