Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Apparatus for harvesting and using power in a near field communications mode, includes a host device with operating components. A first near field communication (NFC) device is contained in the host device and is configured to be selectively coupled to one of the operating components. The first NFC device harvests energy from a second NFC device and converts the harvested energy to electrical power. The first NFC device receives information from the second NFC device and power on the operating component as a function of the information received from the second NFC device. The first NFC device transfers data to or from the operating component when the operating component is powered on. The first NFC device powers off the operating component when the transfer of data between the first NFC device and the operating component has been completed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A host device, comprising: operating equipment comprising a first and second component; and a first near field communication (NFC) device configured to convert energy received from a second NFC device into electrical power and use the electrical power to power on the first and second component of the operating equipment to perform a function based on a signal received from the second NFC device, wherein the first NFC device is configured to use the elect…
