MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL INCLUDING RFID READER AND TRANSCEPTION METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
- a control unit to control the mobile communication terminal;
a radio frequency (“
RF”
) unit comprising an antenna, the RF unit to transceive a first signal under control of the control unit;
a radio frequency identification (“
RFID”
) unit to transceive a second signal with an RFID transponder under control of the control unit,wherein the RF unit has a first position to transmit the first signal from the antenna to the control unit, and a second position to transmit the second signal from the antenna to the RFID unit, and the first position and the second position are controlled by the control unit.

Abstract
A mobile communication terminal including a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader includes a base band unit to control communications, a Radio Frequency (RF) unit to transceive a signal representing voice and data communications with an external mobile communication terminal, and an RFID unit to transceive an RFID signal with a RFID transponder in a high frequency band through the RF unit. An RFID RF block may share components with the RF unit including an antenna, an antenna switch module and a high output amplifier unit to reduce circuit area consumption. The RFID signal may be transceived over a UHF band to increase an operating range of the RFID.
