Abstract
An apparatus and method for bi-directional communication with an external transceiver; the apparatus comprising a transmitter for transmitting an engagement request message from a tag to said external transceiver when said tag is in a non-engaged mode and for transmitting a directed message from said tag to an engaged external transceiver when said tag is in an engaged mode; a processor for bi-directional communication and for changing said engaged mode of said tag to the non-engaged mode, following a lost connection with said engaged external transceiver; and a receiver for receiving a response for said engagement request message from said external transceiver and for receiving an acknowledgement message to said directed message from said engaged external transceiver.
Claims14
An apparatus for bi-directional communication with an external transceiver;
- the apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter for transmitting an engagement request message from a tag to said external transceiver when said tag is in a non-engaged mode and for transmitting a directed message from said tag to an engaged external transceiver when said tag is in an engaged mode;
- a processor for bi-directional communication and for changing said engaged mode of said tag to the non-engaged mode, following a lost connection with said engaged external transceiver;
- and
- a receiver for receiving a response for said engagement request message from said external transceiver and for receiving an acknowledgement message to said directed message from said engaged external transceiver.
A method for bi-directional communication between a tag and an external transceiver, comprising:
- transmitting an engagement request message from said tag to said external transceiver when said tag is in a non-engaged mode;
- changing said non-engaged mode of said tag to an engaged mode, as a result of receiving a response for said engagement request message from said external transceiver;
- when engaged, said external transceiver is an engaged external transceiver;
- transmitting a directed message from said tag to said engaged external transceiver when said tag is in the engaged mode;
- and
- changing said engaged mode of said tag to the non-engaged mode, as a result of a lost connection with said engaged external transceiver.
