First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dongle device comprising:
- a flash memory;
a millimeter wave transceiver coupled to;
receive an RF signal from a host device;
convert the RF signal into a power signal for powering the millimeter wave transceiver;
demodulate the RF signal to receive read commands, write commands, and write data from the host device; and
backscatter the RF signal based on read data; and
a host module coupled to decode the read commands and the write commands from the host device, to process the read commands to retrieve the read data from the flash memory and to process the write commands to write the write data to the flash memory.

Abstract
A dongle device includes a flash memory and a millimeter wave transceiver that receives an RF signal from a host device, converts the RF signal into a power signal for powering the millimeter wave transceiver, demodulates the RF signal to receive read commands, write commands, and write data from the host device, and backscatters the RF signal based on read data. A host module decodes the read commands and the write commands from the host device, processes the read commands to retrieve the read data from the flash memory and processes the write commands to write the write data to the flash memory.
