Wireless signal transmission device and method thereof
First Claim
1. An electric kettle, comprising a kettle body adapted for storing a predetermined amount of liquid, a base, a heating element and a wireless signal transmission device, wherein said kettle body comprises an upper connector, wherein said base comprises a lower connector for detachably connecting said kettle body with said base, wherein said wireless signal transmission device comprises a controller circuitry, a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, and a light reflection arrangement, wherein said controller circuitry comprises a first controlling circuitry provided on said kettle body, and a second controlling circuitry provided on said base, wherein said first wireless transceiver is electrically connected to said first controlling circuit, while said second wireless transceiver is electrically connected to said second controlling circuit, wherein said light reflection arrangement comprises a first reflective mechanism provided on said kettle body, and a second reflective mechanism provided on said base, wherein when said kettle body is rotatably and detachably coupled with said base through said lower and said upper connector, and one of said first and said second wireless transceiver is activated to generate a wireless signal toward another of said wireless transceiver, said wireless signal is subject to multiple reflections by said first and said second reflective mechanism until said wireless signal reaches said corresponding first and said second wireless transceiver for commanding an operation of said heating element for heating and terminating heating of said liquid stored in said kettle body.

Abstract
An electric kettle includes a kettle body, a base, a heating element and a wireless signal transmission device. The wireless signal transmission device includes a controller circuitry, a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, and a light reflection arrangement. The light reflection arrangement includes a first reflective mechanism provided on the kettle body, and a second reflective mechanism provided on the base, wherein when the kettle body is rotatably and detachably coupled with the base through a lower and an upper connector, wherein when one of the first and the second wireless transceiver is activated to generate a wireless signal toward another of the wireless transceiver, the wireless signal is subject to multiple reflections by the first and the second reflective mechanism until the wireless signal reaches the corresponding first and the second wireless transceiver.

10. A wireless transmission method of an electric kettle comprising a base and a kettle body, wherein said method comprises the steps of:
- (1) rotatably connecting an upper and a lower connector of an electric kettle at 360 degrees, and providing a first and a second reflective mechanism respectively;
(2) providing a first and a second wireless transceiver on said first and said second reflective mechanisms respectively for accomplishing multiple reflections of wireless signal generated by said first and said second wireless transceiver;
(3) aligning said first and said second reflective mechanisms when said kettle body is placed on said base;
(4) generating a wireless signal by said second wireless transceiver;
(5) repeatedly reflecting said wireless signal between said first and said second reflective mechanisms;
(6) facilitating multiple reflections of said wireless signal between said first reflective mechanism and said second reflective mechanism until said wireless signal is properly received by said first wireless transceiver;
(7) generating a wireless signal by said first wireless transceiver, wherein said wireless signal is subject to multiple reflection between said first and said second reflective mechanism; and
(8) facilitating multiple reflections of said wireless signal between said first reflective mechanism and said second reflective mechanism until said wireless signal is properly received by said second wireless transceiver.
- (1) rotatably connecting an upper and a lower connector of an electric kettle at 360 degrees, and providing a first and a second reflective mechanism respectively;
