Abstract
A communication method for the communication between two appliances which are set up for communication in a first communication mode is provided. The method includes sending an activation sequence in a second communication mode from the first to the second appliance in order to initiate communication based on the first communication mode; sending data from the second appliance to the first appliance based on the first communication mode. The activation sequence sent to the second appliance includes an initialization sequence and a request for data communication in the first communication mode. In addition, a corresponding electronic appliance and system are provided.
Claims20
A method of communication between two appliances set up for communication in a first communication mode, the method comprising:
- sending an activation sequence in a second communication mode from the first to the second appliance in order to initiate communication based on the first communication mode;
- sending data from the second appliance to the first appliance based on the first communication mode;
- wherein the activation sequence sent to the second appliance comprises:
- an initialization sequence;
- and
- a request for data communication in the first communication mode.
A system, comprising:
- a first appliance and a second appliance connected by means of a communication interface and which are set up for communication in a first communication mode, the first appliance operable to send an activation sequence in a second communication mode to the second appliance in order to initiate sending of data by the second appliance based on the first communication mode;
- wherein the activation sequence sent from the first to the second appliance comprises:
- an initialization sequence;
- and
- a request for the data communication in the first communication mode.
An electronic appliance, comprising:
- a communication interface operable for communication with a further appliance in a first communication mode, the electronic appliance being operable to receive an activation sequence in a second communication mode in order to initiate reception of data based on the first communication mode;
- wherein the activation sequence to be received by the electronic appliance comprises:
- an initialization sequence;
- and
- a request for the data communication in the first communication mode.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a first appliance and a second appliance connected by means of a communication interface and which are set up for communication in a first communication mode, the first appliance operable to send an activation sequence in a second communication mode to the second appliance in order to initiate sending of data by the second appliance based on the first communication mode;
- wherein the activation sequence sent from the first to the second appliance comprises:
- an initialization sequence;
- and
- a request for the data communication in the first communication mode.
