Wireless Communication Set-up State Control via Actuating Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional communication setups for wireless communication, such as contactless payment systems, lack a secure and reliable method to clearly define and switch between blocked and enabled states, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an actuating unit that releases a signal to a signal processing unit to convert the communication setup from a blocked state to an enabled state or vice versa, without altering the antenna network's electrical characteristics, ensuring clear and secure state transitions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If wireless communication is enabled for contactless payment, then convenience and speed of transaction are improved, but security against unauthorized access deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication actions before enabling wireless communication. The authentication unit verifies user identity and authorization status in advance, and only after successful authentication does the control unit enable the communication unit for contactless payment, thus preventing unauthorized access while maintaining transaction speed
2Object-affected harmful factors
If antenna network electrical characteristics are changed to deactivate communication, then security is improved, but state definition clarity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a control unit as an intermediary between the authentication unit and the communication unit. This control unit digitally manages the enabled/blocked states of wireless communication based on authentication results, providing clear state definitions while maintaining security. The control unit acts as a mediator that translates authentication outcomes into precise communication state changes without directly manipulating antenna electrical characteristics
3Measurement precision
If digital state control is implemented for communication enabled/blocked states, then state definition clarity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control functions into an integrated control unit that combines state management, authentication coordination, and communication control. By combining these related functions into a single control unit rather than separate components, the system achieves clear digital state definitions while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity

AI summary
A communication set-up having an electronic circuit; the circuit including at least one communication unit for wireless communication. The communication unit includes an antenna network connected to an antenna; and also includes an actuating unit. The circuit of the communication set-up further includes a signal processing unit, and in response to operation of the actuating unit, the actuating unit is configured to release a signal to the signal processing unit, which, on the basis of this, converts the communication set-up from a blocked state to an enabled state, or vice versa. In addition, a method for controlling such a communication set-up is described.
