Abstract
One example discloses a communications device, including: a bio-antenna conducting surface configured to receive a set of bio-antenna modulated broadcast signals; wherein the conducting surface is configured to receive the set of bio-antenna modulated broadcast signals through a capacitively coupling; a broadcast receiver coupled to the conducting surface; and wherein the conducting surface is configured to pass the broadcast signals to the broadcast receiver.
Claims22
A communications device, comprising:
- a conducting surface configured to capacitively couple to a bio-antenna, capture a modulated broadcast radio signal characterized by a first operational frequency when capacitively coupled to the bio-antenna, and provide a modulated NEC electric field characterized by a second operational frequency via the bio-antenna;
- a broadcast receiver coupled to the conducting surface configured to receive the captured modulated broadcast radio signal, to demodulate the captured modulated broadcast radio signal, and to extract broadcast information from the demodulated broadcast radio signal;
- the near field communication circuit coupled to the broadcast received, having a single modulated NEC electric field connection, and configured to modulate an electric signal based on the broadcast information and provide the modulated electric signal at the single modulated NEC electric field connection;
- and
- a coil having a first connection coupled to the conducting surface and a second connection coupled to the single modulated NEC electric field connection of the near field communication circuit.
