| 20090221240 | LOW POWER DEVICE ACTIVATED BY AN EXTERNAL NEAR-FIELD READER - Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments improve power saving in mobile devices. A mobile device includes a controller with a central processing unit and a programmed memory. In its unused state, the controller maintains a sleep mode with the central processing unit off and peripherals off, such as for a flat screen display. The mobile device also includes a passive near-field transponder with an EEPROM storage device. The near-field transponder is activated by a continuous radio frequency signal from a proximate near-field reader. The near-field transponder can receive data from the near-field reader, which the transponder can write into the EEPROM. The mobile device also includes an activation coil energized by the continuous radio frequency signal from the proximate near-field reader and signals the controller when so energized. When the activation coil is energized by the continuous radio frequency signal from the proximate near-field reader, it energizes the controller, turning it on. The controller then reads the received data from the transponder's EEPROM and checks the validity of the received data to be sure that it is not the result of a spurious signal received by the near-field transponder. If the received data is determined to be valid, then the energized controller energizes the peripherals and the CPU and transfers the received data to the CPU. When the activation coil is no longer energized by a proximate near-field reader, the controller then returns to the sleep mode with the central processing unit off. In this manner, power saving in mobile devices is improved. | 2009-09-03 |
