OPTICAL COMMUNICATION MONITORING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18025374 Titled 'OPTICAL COMMUNICATION MONITORING DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that controls multiple optical paths without using electricity. It uses optical sensors to detect signals passing through the paths. The device then determines the communication status of each path based on the sensor readings and transmits this information.


Original Abstract Submitted

A plurality of optical sensors () are installed in an optical path control device () configured to control a plurality of optical paths () without using an electrical element. The plurality of optical sensors () detect optical signals each passing through at least one of the plurality of optical paths (). A transmitter () simultaneously determines communication states of the plurality of optical paths () based on detection of the optical signals by the plurality of optical sensors (), and transmits information on the determined communication states.
