Communication system using near field and method thereof
First Claim
1. A communication system using a near field, comprising:
- at least one medium having conductivity; and
a plurality of peripheral devices arranged around the medium and having a communication device used to transmit and receive a predetermined data signal using a carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) method through the near field formed around the medium.

Abstract
Provided is a communication system using a near field and a method thereof, which uses a conductive medium, i.e., a human body, and comprises a plurality of peripheral devices having a communication device for transmitting and receiving a predetermined data signal through the near field formed around the human body, using a carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) method, thereby solving a directional problem of an antenna when the wireless system is used and achieving miniaturization, as well as enhancing communication efficiency by using the most appropriate frequency to the human communication without collision of transmitting and receiving signals between the plurality of peripheral devices.

9. A communication method using a near field, comprising:
-
transmitting a plurality of data signals through a near field formed around at least one medium having conductivity, respectively;
receiving the respective data singles transmitted through the medium; and
controlling the transmitted and received data signals using a carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) method to prevent collision between the transmitted and received data signals.

10. A communication method using a near field in a communication system arranged around at least one medium having conductivity and comprising a plurality of peripheral devices having a communication device for transmitting and receiving a predetermined data signal through the near field formed around the medium, the communication method comprising:
-
(a) designating a priority for each of the peripheral devices, and setting a time to check a communication state of the medium to be different from each other based on the designated priority;
(b) determining whether data signals to transmit to the plurality of peripheral devices exist for each of the communication devices, and in the case that the data signals to transmit do not exist, maintaining a wait state for a predetermined time, and then determining again whether the data signals to transmit to the plurality of peripheral devices exit;
(c) as a result of the determination in the step (a), in the case that the data signals to transmit to the plurality of peripheral devices exist, preparing to transmit the data signals to the corresponding peripheral device;
(d) determining a communication state of the medium for each of the communication devices, and in the case that the communication state between the peripheral devices through the medium is busy, waiting for a predetermined time and then returning to the step (c);
(e) as a result of the determination in the step (d), in the case that the communication state between the peripheral devices through the medium is idle, checking a communication state of the medium for a time to check the established communication state of the medium;
(f) determining the communication state of the medium for each of the communication devices, and in the case that the communication state between the peripheral devices through the medium is busy, waiting for a predetermined time to return to the step (c); and
(g) as a result of the determination in the step (g), in the case that the communication state between the peripheral devices through the medium is idle, completing the transmission of the data signal. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
