Estimating the term…
A communications device for wireless communication with another device, the communications device having a) a first part having a first housing and a first induction coil for providing an inductive coupling to the other device, and b) a second part having a second induction coil adapted to be inductively coupled to said first induction coil and to said other device when mounted on or near said first housing. Provided is a relatively simple mechanical interface for an inductively coupled link between a communications device and another device. The second part is adapted to be detachably attachable to the first housing. An advantage is that no connector is needed whereby a simpler and more reliable device is provided. The consequences of wear of the connector leading to increased contact resistance and/or failure of the electrical connection is avoided.
A communications device for wireless communication with another device, the communications device comprising a) a first part comprising a first housing and a first inductive coil for providing an inductive coupling to, and adapted to communicate inductively with a third inductive coil in the other device, and b) a second part comprising a second inductive coil adapted to be inductively coupled to said first inductive coil and to said other device when mounted on or near said first housing, wherein said second part is adapted to be detachably attachable to said first housing, wherein the second inductive coil has the form of a neck strap adapted to be worn around the neck of a person, wherein the first and second parts are distinct, separate parts that only cooperate electromagnetically via the inductive connection between them, wherein the first part has a transmission range for communication with the other device, wherein the second device enhances the transmission range of the first device.
second part of a communications device comprising a second inductive coil adapted to be inductively coupled to a first inductive coil of a first part of a communications device and to a third inductive coil of another device when mounted on or near a first housing of the first part wherein said second part is adapted to be detachably attachable to said first housing, wherein the second inductive coil has the form of a neck strap adapted to be worn around the neck of a person, wherein the first and second parts are distinct, separate parts that only cooperate electromagnetically via the inductive connection between them.
