ACTIVE NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION DEVICE FACILITATION OF LOW POWER CARD DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240267085 titled 'ACTIVE NEAR-FIELD COMMUNICATION DEVICE FACILITATION OF LOW POWER CARD DETECTION

The abstract of the patent application describes a device implementing a system for NFC communication, where a processor receives pulse signals from another device to detect proximity and determine the interval at which the signals are received. The processor then predicts when the other device will transmit the next pulse signal and sends a signal based on that prediction.

  • The device implements a system for NFC communication.
  • The processor receives pulse signals from another device to detect proximity.
  • It determines the interval at which the pulse signals are received.
  • The processor predicts when the other device will transmit the next pulse signal.
  • It sends a signal to the other device based on the predicted time of transmission.

Potential Applications: - Contactless payments - Access control systems - Data transfer between devices

Problems Solved: - Efficient proximity detection - Predictive communication in NFC technology

Benefits: - Improved user experience - Enhanced security in NFC communication - Faster data transfer speeds

Commercial Applications: Title: Predictive NFC Communication System This technology can be used in various industries such as retail, transportation, and healthcare for secure and efficient communication between devices. It can also be integrated into smart devices for seamless connectivity.

Questions about NFC Communication: 1. How does this technology improve the reliability of NFC communication? This technology enhances the reliability of NFC communication by predicting the timing of pulse signal transmissions, ensuring efficient data transfer between devices.

2. What are the potential security implications of predictive NFC communication? Predictive NFC communication can enhance security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data interception, making it ideal for secure transactions and data transfer.


Original Abstract Submitted

a device implementing a system for nfc communication includes a processor configured to receive, from an other device, pulse signals for detecting proximity of the device with the other device. the processor is further configured to determine an interval at which the pulse signals are received from the other device. the processor is further configured to determine a time when the other device is expected to transmit a subsequent pulse signal based at least in part on the determined interval. the processor is further configured to transmit a signal to the other device based on the determined time when the other device is expected to transmit the subsequent pulse signal.
