Wireless communication apparatus having self sensing function
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus having a self sensing function, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with a server of a wireless network; and
a wake-up unit configured to wake up the communication unit under the control of the server when the communication unit is in sleep mode, and to detect the presence of an object within a preset communication range according to a reflection signal, which is a signal reflected by the object after being transmitted from the communication unit, wherein the wake-up unit comprises;
a signal converter configured to convert the reflection signal into a direct current (DC) signal, and a detector configured to detect a signal level of the DC signal received from the signal converter,wherein the wake-up unit is configured to detect the object according to a signal level of the reflection signal, which is a reflected wireless communication signal between the communication unit and the server.

Abstract
Disclosed is a wireless communication apparatus having a self sensing function, which can detect an object by use of a wake-up function without employing a separate sensor. The wireless communication apparatus includes a communication unit wirelessly communicating with a server forming a wireless network, and a wake-up unit waking up the communication unit under the control of the server when the communication unit is in sleep mode, and sensing the presence of an object within a preset communication range according to a reflection signal, which is a signal reflected by the object after being transmitted from the communication unit.

4. A wireless communication apparatus having a self sensing function, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:
-
a communication unit configured to wirelessly communicate with a server of a wireless network; and a wake-up unit configured to wake up the communication unit under the control of the server when the communication unit is in sleep mode, and to sense the presence of an object within a preset communication range according to a reflection signal, which is a signal reflected by the object after being transmitted from the communication unit, wherein the communication unit comprises a first directional antenna configured to output a sensing signal in a preset direction, and the wake up unit comprises; a second direction antenna configured to receive the reflection signal, which is the sensing signal reflected off the object after being output from the first directional antenna, a signal converter configured to convert the reflection signal into a direct current (DC) signal, and a detector configured to detect a signal level of the DC signal received from the signal converter, and the wake-up unit is configured to detect the object according to a signal level of the reflection signal. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
