Wireless coded communication (WCC) devices with energy harvesting power functions for wireless communication
First Claim
1. A device, comprising,a control configured to be associated with a state;
- a power storage cell;
a wireless chip coupled to a memory, the power storage cell, and the control, the power storage cell is configured to receive energy that is harvested by the device from one or more radio frequency (RF) signals;
the wireless chip configured to backscatter to transform onto a second frequency an emission signal that is broadcast on a first frequency, the emission signal being one or more of said RF signals, where the backscatter is performed to result in a synthesis of a packet on the second frequency representing a payload, wherein the control is configured to provide said state to the wireless chip, and said state is used in part in the synthesis of the payload, the device is configured to use said energy which is harvested to cause transmission of the payload over the second frequency to an end node.

Abstract
A wireless coded communication (WCC) device is provided. The WCC device includes a user manipulated control, and a power storage cell coupled to the user manipulated control. A wireless chip coupled to a memory and the control is provided. The wireless chip configured for harvesting RF energy of an emission source that is broadcast on a first frequency, decoding commands in the RF emission source, reading the state of the control and controllably synthesizing a packet on a second frequency representing a payload. The user manipulation of the control assists in a transformation of mechanical movement to produce additional energy which is harvested to fuel additional operations of the WCC device.
