ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF EXTENDING READING DISTANCE
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a reader configured to read at least one wireless signal; and
a plurality of first coil units,wherein the reader is connected to a first coil unit of the first coil units to read the at least one wireless signal in an original reading distance, and other first coil units of the first coil units are separately arranged in an order started from the first coil unit, wherein a spacing between two of the first coil units is smaller than or equal to the original reading distance;
the first coil units are configured to generate magnetic coupling with an adjacent first coil unit started from the first coil unit to extend the original reading distance to a first extended reading distance and to adjust a direction of the first extended reading distance.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a reader and a plurality of first coil units. The reader is configured to read at least one wireless signal. The reader is connected to a first coil unit of the first coil units to read the wireless signal in an original reading distance. Other first coil unit(s) of the first coil units is separately arranged in an order started from the first coil unit. Spacing between any two of the first coil units is lower than or equal to the original reading distance. The first coil units are configured to generate magnetic coupling with an adjacent first coil unit started from the first coil unit to extend the original reading distance as a first extended reading distance and adjust a direction of the first extended reading distance.
