Each communications device in the group assigns different sections of its touchscreen to the other devices in the group. To transfer information to another device in the group, the user swipes on the touchscreen towards the assigned section for the target communications device. Upon detecting the swipe, and determining that the swipe was towards the assigned section, the communications device initiates a transfer of the information to the target communications device. This may involve confirmation at the device or a paired device before transfer, or no confirmation. Receipt of the information at the target communications device may trigger notifications to be displayed. It may also trigger a request for acceptance of the transfer at the target communications device after which receipt is confirmed.

A vehicle identification means serve to identify vehicles by means of a unique identification. The protection of such identifications against falsification and tampering proves particularly problematic. For this purpose, known vehicle identification means have data carriers which can be read out in a contactless fashion and on which data for permitting unambiguous identification are stored. However, such identification means are very complex in design and are susceptible to faults. The invention provides an improved vehicle identification means which has a design which is as simple as possible and has a lower level of susceptibility to faults. This is ensured in that at least one NFC transponder which can be read out in a contactless fashion and has the purpose of near-field communication with a data carrier and an antenna is assigned to a registration number plate body, wherein at least part of the antenna is arranged in a breakthrough.

A communication partner appliance is implemented within a near field communication system. The communication partner appliance includes a receiver, a detector, and a processor. The receiver receives a NFC command signal from another communication partner appliance. The detector detects whether a carrier signal from the other communication partner appliance is present at the receiver and generates a corresponding status signal. The processor receives the command signal from the receiver, recognizes an end of the command signal, receives the status signal from the detector after the end of the command signal, and controls a power supply element based on the status signal after the end of the command signal. The power supply element is configured to establish a connection to either a first power supply or a second power supply. The first power supply is dependent on the carrier signal, and the second power supply is independent of the carrier signal.

Secure Inductively-Coupled Communications Systems

Автор: Michael L. Oristaglio, Ralf Birken, Scott Macintosh, Thorkild Hansen
Принадлежит: Seknion Inc

Security in inductively coupled communications systems, such as near field communications (NFC), may be improved by restricting signals carrying user data to an authorized data transmission region. Security may be particularly important when the NFC carries financial transaction information or authorization credentials. Scramble signals may be transmitted along with data signals carrying the user data and designed to overshadow the data signals outside of the authorized data transmission region. The scramble signal transceiver may be designed to have a slower decay rate with distance from the transceiver than the data signal. By adjusting the power levels of the scramble signal and the data signal, the authorized data transmission region may be adjusted. Scramble signals may not be required if the data signal strength outside the authorized data transmission region is below the minimum threshold value required by eavesdropping receivers.

The present application relates to a near field communications (NFC) transmitter ( 10 ) that is configured to modulate a carrier signal with a data signal using a quadrature modulator ( 12 ). A delay is introduced into the data signal, and this delayed version of the data signal is input to the input ports of the quadrature modulator ( 12 ). The resulting I and Q signals are combined to generate an output signal that is modulated in both amplitude and phase. An NFC receiver receiving the signal transmitted by the transmitter ( 10 ) is able to recover the data signal even when the amplitude of the received signal is greatly compressed, as the phase modulation of the transmitted signal is unaffected by the compression associated with power harvesting.

Remote Antenna Driver for Reducing Unwanted Electromagnetic Emissions and/or Distortion Within a Near Field Communication (NFC) Capable Device

Автор: Andrew PIENKOWSKI
Принадлежит: Broadcom Corp

A near field communication (NFC) device is disclosed which includes a NFC core communicatively coupled to an antenna module. The NFC core provides low power communication signals that traverse a sizable distance to an antenna module. The low power communication signals emit substantially less electromagnetic radiation when compared to high power communication signals that conventionally traverse this sizable distance. As a result, unwanted electromagnetic emissions and/or distortion impressed upon signals within other nearby electronic circuits are lessened. After the low power communication signals reach the antenna module, the antenna module converts the low power communication signals into high power communication signals for transmission to another NFC capable device. Additionally, the antenna module converts communications from this NFC capable device that are modulated onto the high power communication signals to provide the low power communication signals for the NFC core.

A process for retrieving configuration information for a controller of a building automation system (BAS) includes verifying login information on a mobile computing device to ensure the mobile computing device has authority to access a wiring diagram. Then, a mobile computing device receives identity information associated with the controller via Near Field Communication (NFC) read operations from memory of an NFC tag associated with the controller and retrieves, using the identity information, the wiring diagram from a storage medium. The mobile computing device further displays the retrieved wiring diagram associated with the controller.

A transponder communicates with a reader using active load modulation. The transponder includes a digital phase locked loop (DPLL), which, in operation, generates an active load modulation (ALM) carrier clock synchronized to carrier clock of the reader. Between transmission of data frames, the DPLL is placed in a lock mode of operation in which a feedback loop of the DPLL is closed. Within a transmitted data frame having a duration, the DPLL is placed, for the duration of the transmitted data frame, in a hold mode of operation in which the feedback loop is opened. A phase of the ALM carrier clock is adjusted at least once during the duration of the transmitted data frame.

Vehicle identification means

Номер: US20210027553A1
Автор: Björn BEENKEN
Принадлежит: Toennjes ISI Patent Holding GmbH

A vehicle identification means serve to identify vehicles by means of a unique identification. The protection of such identifications against falsification and tampering proves particularly problematic. For this purpose, known vehicle identification means have data carriers which can be read out in a contactless fashion and on which data for permitting unambiguous identification are stored. However, such identification means are very complex in design and are susceptible to faults. The invention provides an improved vehicle identification means which has a design which is as simple as possible and has a lower level of susceptibility to faults. This is ensured in that at least one NFC transponder which can be read out in a contactless fashion and has the purpose of near-field communication with a data carrier and an antenna is assigned to a registration number plate body, wherein at least part of the antenna is arranged in a breakthrough.
