METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259045 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION

The abstract of the patent application describes a first electronic device that can determine its location through an out of band connection, select an applet based on this location information, and use the applet for ultra-wideband communication with a second electronic device nearby.

Determine location of the first electronic device via an out of band (oob) connection
Select an applet within the first electronic device based on the determined location
Carry out ultra-wideband (uwb) communication with a second electronic device adjacent to the determined location using the selected applet

Potential Applications: - Indoor positioning systems - Secure data transfer between devices - Smart home automation

Problems Solved: - Accurate location determination without relying solely on GPS - Secure communication between devices in close proximity - Efficient data transfer in crowded wireless environments

Benefits: - Enhanced security through location-based applet selection - Improved data transfer speeds with ultra-wideband technology - Simplified device pairing and communication processes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Location-Based Secure Communication System for Smart Devices" This technology could be used in smart home devices, industrial automation systems, and healthcare applications to enable secure and efficient communication between devices in close proximity.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the out of band connection help in determining the location of the electronic device? 2. What are the advantages of using ultra-wideband communication for device-to-device communication?

Original Abstract Submitted

a first electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may: determine a location of the first electronic device via an out of band (oob) connection; select, on the basis of information regarding the determined location, an applet within the first electronic device; and carry out, by using the selected applet, ultra-wideband (uwb) communication with a second electronic device adjacent to the determined location.
