DATA TRANSCEIVER AND DATA-TRANSCEIVING METHOD FOR BIO-IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A transmitter for transmitting data in an implantable medical device, the transmitter comprising:
- an activation unit configured to transmit a predetermined number of frame bits to a receiver to activate the receiver, the frame bits indicating transmission start of the data;
a preamble state notification unit configured to transmit a preamble data signal for putting the receiver in a preamble state when the receiver has been activated or the data is being transmitted to the receiver; and
a synchronization unit configured to transmit synchronization data for synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver in the preamble state.

Abstract
The invention relates a transmitter for transmitting data in bio-implantable medical devices, comprising: an activation unit which transmits; to a receiver, a predetermined number of frame bits which indicate the start of data transmission so as to activate the receiver; a preamble state notification unit which transmits, at the state where the receiver is activated or during data transmission to the receiver, a preamble data signal for turning the receiver into a preamble state; and a synchronization unit which transmits synchronization data for synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver in the preamble state.

6. A receiver for receiving transmission data supplied from a transmitter in an implantable medical device, the receiver comprising:
-
a state switch unit configured to switch the receiver from a low-power state to an activation state according to a transmission initialization sequence for transmissions start and switch the activation state to the low-power state when a communication end signal for notifying transmission end of the transmission data is received; and an error check unit configured to check whether an error of the transmission data occurs through the use of an error check bit of the transmission data received from the transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of transmitting data from a transmitter to a receiver in an implantable medical device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting channel establishment data and synchronization data to the receiver to activate and synchronize the receiver; transmitting body data to the receiver synchronized with the transmitter; transmitting a preamble data signal to switch the receiver to a preamble state in the middle of transmitting the body data; and transmitting resynchronization data for resynchronization to the receiver having the preamble state, or transmitting the body data to the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method of receiving data transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver in an implantable medical device, the method comprising:
-
switching, as channel establishment data is received from the transmitter, the receiver from a low-power mode to a start state; switching, as a preamble data signal is received, the receiver from the start state to a preamble state; receiving synchronization data in the preamble state to perform synchronization with the transmitter, and receiving body data from the transmitter; and switching, as the preamble data signal is received in the middle of receiving the body data, the receiver to the preamble state again, and receiving the resynchronization data or the body data from the transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method of controlling a receiver using a transmitter in an implantable medical device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting, by the transmitter, a control signal that enables state shift of a finite state machine of the receiver, wherein the control signal comprises; a preamble data indicator (ID) for providing a time that enables the receiver to prepare to recognize successive body data; a communication end ID for notifying transmission end of the body data; and a succession data ID for indicating succession of at least two body data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
