Communication partner appliance with automatic send mode activation
First Claim
1. A circuit, this circuit being provided for a communication partner appliance that is designed for contact less communication and as a data carrier, this communication partner appliance being provided for a communication system with at least one further communication partner appliance, in which circuit a first communication mode or a second communication mode can be activated, and which circuit has the means listed below:
- activators for activating the first communication mode or the second communication mode, andreception means for receiving a carrier signal that is transmitted by the at least one further communication partner appliance, anddetectors for detecting the presence of the received carrier signal, these detectors transmitting within the circuit of the communication partner appliance a carrier signal present signal in the event that the carrier signal is present, and otherwise transmitting within the circuit of the communication partner appliance a carrier signal not-present signal as a consequence of a missing carrier signal, andcommand signal recognition means for recognizing a command signal that can be transmitted with the aid of the carrier signal, and wherein the command signal recognition means is further configured to subsequently generate and transmit within the circuit of the communication partner appliance a command-end signal that is separate from the transmitted command signal and represents the end of the transmitted command signal, anddetermination means for determining whether, after the occurrence of the command-end signal, at a given measurement point in time, the carrier signal present signal is present, with which determination means a first activation signal can be transmitted when the carrier signal present signal is present, and otherwise a second activation signal can be transmitted, with which first activation signal the circuit can be brought into the first communication mode with the aid of the activators, and with which second activation signal the circuit can be brought into the second communication mode with the aid of the activators.

Abstract
In a data carrier (2) which is provided as a communication partner appliance for a communication system with at least one further communication partner appliance (3, 40), a first communication mode or a second communication mode can be activated. A detection device (32) for detecting the presence of a received carrier signal (RS) transmits a carrier signal present signal (PS) in the event of a carrier signal (RS) being present, and otherwise a carrier signal not-present signal (NPS). A command signal that can be transmitted with the aid of the carrier signal (RS) triggers a determination stage (27) for determining whether after the end of the command signal has occurred, at a given measurement point in time, the carrier signal present signal (PS) is present. If the carrier signal present signal (PS) is present, the data carrier (2) is brought into the first communication mode with the aid of activators (30, 35); otherwise, it is brought into the second communication mode.

6. A circuit, this circuit being provided for a communication partner appliance that is designed for contact less communication and as a communication station, this communication partner appliance being provided for a communication system with at least one further communication partner appliance in which further communication partner appliance a first communication mode or a second communication mode can be activated, this circuit containing the means listed below:
-
production means for producing a carrier signal, and transmission means for transmitting the carrier signal to the further communication partner appliance, and arranging means for arranging a communication mode, and a generator for generating at least one command signal, which command signal can be transmitted to the further communication partner appliance with the aid of the carrier signal and first control elements for subsequently generating and transmitting, within the circuit of the communication partner appliance, a command-end signal that is separate from the generated command signal and represents the end of the generated command signal, and second control elements with which second control elements after the occurrence of the command-end signal the generation and/or transmission of the carrier signal can be ended at a particular point in time. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for activating a first communication mode or a second communication mode of a communication partner appliance wherein the communication partner appliance is provided for a communication system with at least one further communication partner appliance, and wherein a carrier signal is transmitted by the at least one further communication partner appliance this carrier signal being received with the communication partner appliance, the method comprising:
-
detecting a presence of the received carrier signal in the communication partner appliance, and in the event of the carrier signal being present, transmitting within the circuit of the communication partner appliance a carrier signal present signal, and otherwise transmitting within the circuit of the communication partner appliance a carrier signal not-present signal as a consequence of a missing carrier signal, recognizing a command signal that can be transmitted with the aid of the carrier signal, subsequently generating and transmitting within the circuit of the communication partner appliance a command-end signal that is separate from the transmitted command signal and represents the end of the transmitted command signal, determining whether the carrier signal present signal is present, after the occurrence of the command-end signal at a measurement point in time, and transmitting a first activation signal to activate the communication partner appliance into the first communication mode in response to a determination that the carrier signal present signal is present, and otherwise transmitting a second activation signal to activate the communication partner appliance into the second communication mode. - View Dependent Claims (14)
