Wireless data transmitting device and method for wireless data transmission
First Claim
1. A system for wireless data transmission, comprising:
- a wireless data transmitting device, wherein the wireless data transmitting device comprises no battery, the wireless data transmitting device comprising;
a first antenna unit configured to be the only external energy reception interface and to receive energy from an alternating electromagnetic field and to convert the energy into an alternating current energy signal;
a rectifying unit configured to convert the alternating current energy signal into a direct current signal;
a data transmitting unit directly connected to the rectifying unit and configured to be powered by the direct current signal, and configured to receive the direct current signal and to generate an aircraft related wireless data signal, wherein the wireless data signal comprises information indicative of an identifier and a location of the wireless data transmitting device within an aircraft, wherein the location comprises GPS coordinates; and
a second antenna unit configured to output the aircraft related wireless data signal; and
a plurality of field generating devices configured to generate the alternating electromagnetic field, each of the plurality of field generating devices comprising an RFID reader,wherein the field generating devices are disposed in different locations of the aircraft and configured to be powered by a board power supply of the aircraft,wherein the wireless data transmitting device is provided in a form of a tag that is configured to be attached to an item to be tracked within the aircraft.
