Abstract
Provided is a system for communication. The system includes: a basic function module; at least one extended function module; a first near-field communication transceiving unit and a first near-field communication antenna unit, located on the basic function module; and at least one second near-field communication transceiving unit and at least one second near-field communication antenna unit, located on each of the at least one extended function module. The first near-field communication antenna unit and the at least one second near-field communication antenna unit respectively comprise a first loop antenna and a second loop antenna which are printed on a printed circuit board.
Claims21
A system for communication, comprising:
- a basic function module;
- at least one extended function module;
- a first near-field communication transceiver and a first near-field communication antenna, located on the basic function module, the first near-field communication antenna including a first loop antenna and a main printed circuit board;
- and
- at least one second near-field communication transceiver and at least one second near-field communication antenna located an each respective at least one extended function module, each of the at least one second near-field communication antenna including a second loop antenna and a main printed circuit board;
- wherein planes where the main printed circuit boards on the basic function module and the extended function modules are located are parallel to each other, a height difference between the planes where the main printed circuit boards on two adjacent modules are located is less than a threshold, and the threshold is based on a set near-field communication distance.
An extended function module, comprising:
- at least one near-field communication transceiver;
- and
- at least one near-field communication antenna, the at least one near-field communication antenna including two printed circuit boards having a loop antenna printed thereon, wherein the two printed circuit boards are respectively vertically fixed at two side edges of a main printed circuit board on the extended function module.
A basic function module, comprising:
- a first near-field communication transceiver;
- a first near-field communication antenna, the first near-field communication antenna including a first frame board with a first flexible printed circuit board attached on one side and two first connecting mechanisms, the first frame board vertically fixed by the two first connecting mechanisms at two side edges of a main printed circuit board of the basic function module;
- and
- a first loop antenna printed on the first flexible printed circuit board.
An extended function module, comprising:
- at least one near-field communication transceiver;
- and
- at least one near-field communication antenna, the at least one near-field communication antenna including a frame board with a flexible printed circuit board respectively attached on two opposite side surfaces and two connecting mechanisms, the frame board vertically fixed by use of the two connecting mechanisms at two side edges of a main printed circuit board of the extended function module;
- and
- a loop antenna printed on the flexible printed circuit board.
