Communication partner appliance with automatic send mode activation
DCFirst Claim
1. A communication partner appliance comprising:
- a receiver to receive a near field communication (NFC) command signal from another communication partner appliance;
a detector coupled to the receiver, wherein the detector is configured to detect whether a carrier signal from the other communication partner appliance is present at the receiver and to generate a status signal that represents whether the carrier signal is present at the receiver; and
a processor coupled to the receiver and the detector, wherein the processor is configured to;
receive the command signal from the receiver;
recognize an end of the command signal;
receive the status signal from the detector after the end of the command signal; and
control a power supply element based on the status signal after the end of the command signal, wherein the power supply element is configured to establish a connection to either a first power supply or a second power supply, wherein the first power supply is dependent on the carrier signal, and the second power supply is independent of the carrier signal.

Abstract
A communication partner appliance is implemented within a near field communication system. The communication partner appliance includes a receiver, a detector, and a processor. The receiver receives a NFC command signal from another communication partner appliance. The detector detects whether a carrier signal from the other communication partner appliance is present at the receiver and generates a corresponding status signal. The processor receives the command signal from the receiver, recognizes an end of the command signal, receives the status signal from the detector after the end of the command signal, and controls a power supply element based on the status signal after the end of the command signal. The power supply element is configured to establish a connection to either a first power supply or a second power supply. The first power supply is dependent on the carrier signal, and the second power supply is independent of the carrier signal.

9. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a first communication partner appliance, a near-field communication (NFC) command signal from a second communication partner appliance; detecting whether a carrier signal from the second communication partner appliance is present at the first communication partner appliance; generating, within the first communication partner appliance, a status signal that represents whether the carrier signal is present at the first communication partner appliance; recognizing an end of the command signal at the first communication partner appliance; and controlling a power supply element of the first communication partner appliance based on the status signal after the end of the command signal, wherein the power supply element is configured to establish a connection to either a first power supply or a second power supply, wherein the first power supply is dependent on the carrier signal, and the second power supply is independent of the carrier signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
