All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application. For example, in the following description, forming the second component over the first component may include embodiments in which the first and second components are formed in direct contact, embodiments in which the first and second components are formed in non-direct contact (i.e., additional components may be included between the first and second components), and so on.
Also, for ease of description, some embodiments of the present application may use spatially relative terms such as "above …," "below …," "top," "below," etc., to describe the relationship of one element or component to another (or other) element or component as illustrated in the various figures of the embodiments. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements or components described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or components would then be oriented "above" or "over" the other elements or components.
Referring to fig. 1, a wireless communication system of an embodiment of the present application may include a wireless energy-providing device 100 and a passive electronic device 200. Wherein, the wireless energy supply device 100 can continuously supply energy to the passive electronic device 200 through the wireless magnetic power supply channel 300. During the continuous powering process, the wireless power supply device 100 may establish a secure wireless data channel 400 with the passive electronic device 200 and transmit configuration information according to the channel. On this basis, the wireless energy supply device 100 can also establish a high-speed wireless data channel 500 with the passive electronic device 200 based on the configuration information for high-speed data transmission between the wireless energy supply device 100 and the passive electronic device 200.
In some embodiments of the present application, a coexistence condition is provided by two data channels (i.e. the secure wireless data channel 400 and the high-speed wireless data channel 500), where coexistence refers to that the high-speed wireless data channel 500 does not occupy the bandwidth of the secure wireless data channel 400, and both data channels can transmit data at the same time. This allows for more selectivity in the exchange of data information between the wireless powered device 100 and the passive electronic device 200. For example, in view of the higher data transmission security of the secure wireless data channel 400, it can be used as a transmission channel for some sensitive information (e.g. security key, payment information, etc.) to improve data security. The high-speed wireless data channel 500 is used as an extension of the secure wireless data channel 400, and can meet the requirement for high-speed data transmission, so that real-time transmission of some big data contents (such as pictures, audio, video and the like) can be realized, and the requirement for secure high-speed data transmission between the wireless energy supply device 100 and the passive electronic device 200 can be met by matching the transmission of sensitive information by the secure wireless data channel 400 and the transmission of big data information by the high-speed wireless data channel 500. In addition, the secure wireless data channel 400 and the high-speed wireless data channel 500 may be emergency backup, that is, when one data channel cannot be used due to congestion, interference or equipment failure, the other data channel may be used as an emergency.

The secure data interface 104 may attach data information to the electromagnetic waves 108 to enable the synchronous transmission of energy and data. In an embodiment of the present application, the user application 106 may also be used to implement the allocation of data information, for example, whether the allocation information is transmitted through the secure data interface 104 or the high-speed data communication interface 105. In an embodiment of the present application, the user application 106 may also display the transmission data information. In an embodiment of the present application, the User application 106 may be, for example, a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
As shown in connection with fig. 3, in some embodiments of the present application, the passive electronic device 200 may include a second coil 201, a second antenna 202, an energy interface 203, a secure data interface 204, a power supply and communication control module 205, and a high-speed data exchange interface 206. In other embodiments of the present application, the passive electronic device 200 may further include other power consuming modules 207.
In an embodiment of the present application, the second coil 201 may be configured to receive an energy signal provided by the wireless energy supply device 100 through the wireless magnetic power supply channel 300, and may also serve as a signal transceiving antenna for the passive electronic device 200 to communicate with the wireless energy supply device 100 through the secure wireless data channel 400. In an embodiment of the present application, the second coil 201 may receive the energy signal provided by the wireless power supply apparatus 100 through the wireless magnetic power supply channel 300 by magnetic induction or magnetic resonance, and provide the received energy signal to the energy interface 203.
In an embodiment of the present application, the power interface 203 may be configured to convert the power signal received by the second coil 201 into a direct current suitable for the passive electronic device 200, and may provide the direct current to the power utilization modules, such as the secure data interface 204, the power supply and communication control module 205, and the high-speed data exchange interface 206. In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the energy interface 203 may be, for example, a rectifier or the like.

In some exemplary embodiments of the present application, the power supply and communication control module 205 may include, for example, a microprocessor or microcontroller.
In an embodiment of the present application, the secure data interface 204 may be used to enable two-way secure communications between the passive electronic device 200 and the wirelessly powered device 100. In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the secure data interface 204 may be, for example, an NFC module, an RFID module, or the like. Since the communication distance of these modules, such as NFC modules, is short and the security is high, the security of the communication between the passive electronic device 200 and the wireless power supply device 100 can be greatly improved, and therefore, the secure wireless data channel 400 is more suitable for transmitting some sensitive information, important information, and the like. Of course, if the information to be transmitted does not have high requirement on the transmission rate, the information may also be transmitted through the secure wireless data channel 400.
In an embodiment of the present application, the second antenna 202 may be used as a signal transceiving antenna for the passive electronic device 200 to communicate with the wireless power supply device 100 through the secure wireless data channel 400.
In an embodiment of the present application, the high-speed data exchange interface 206 may be used to enable high-speed data communication between the passive electronic device 200 and the wireless power enabled device 100. In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the high speed data exchange interface 206 may be, for example, a WiFi module, a bluetooth module, etc. Therefore, the high-speed wireless data channel 500 can achieve higher-speed data transmission than the secure wireless data channel 400, and thus can be beneficial to meet the data transmission requirements of high-speed large data volume (e.g., pictures, audio, video, etc.) between the passive electronic device 200 and the wireless power device 100.
The communication process between the wireless power supply device 100 and the passive electronic device 200 is explained below with reference to fig. 4.
In an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 4, the wireless communication method on the side of the wireless energy supply device 100 may include the following steps:
1) the wireless power supply device 100 sends out a limited power signal for detecting the passive electronic device 200 in an electromagnetic wave manner.
In an embodiment of the present application, the energy of the limited energy signal externally transmitted by the wireless energy supply device 100 in an electromagnetic wave manner is very limited; generally, the limited-power signal may only provide enough power for the wireless-powered device 100 to electromagnetically feed back a detection response signal after being powered on or awakened. With the limited-power signal, the wireless-powered device 100 can detect or identify whether there is an available passive electronic device 200 within range of the target.
In another embodiment of the present application, after the limited energy signal for detecting the passive electronic device 200 is sent out by electromagnetic waves, the wireless power supply device 100 may further determine whether the detection response signal fed back by the passive electronic device 200 by electromagnetic waves is received within a preset waiting time. If not, further judging whether the appointed detection time is overtime; if not, the limited energy signal for detecting the passive electronic device 200 can be sent out again in an electromagnetic wave mode so as to continue the detection; if the detection response signal fed back by the passive electronic device 200 in the form of electromagnetic wave is not received within the preset waiting time and the specified detection time is over, the external sending of the limited energy signal may be terminated.
2) The wireless energy supply device 100 receives the detection response signal fed back by the passive electronic device 200 in an electromagnetic wave manner.
In an embodiment of the present application, after the limited energy signal for detecting the passive electronic device 200 is sent out by electromagnetic waves, if the wireless power supply device 100 receives the detection response signal fed back by the passive electronic device 200 by electromagnetic waves within the preset waiting time, it indicates that there is an available passive electronic device 200 within the target range.
3) The wireless energy supply device 100 establishes a wireless magnetic power supply channel based on the detection response signal, and continuously supplies energy to the passive electronic device according to the wireless magnetic power supply channel.
In an embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that there is an available wireless energy supplying device 100 within the target range, the wireless energy supplying device 100 can establish a wireless magnetic energy supplying channel for continuously supplying energy to the passive electronic device 200, i.e. the wireless energy supplying device 100 can continuously supply energy to the passive electronic device 200 in a magnetic coupling or magnetic resonance manner, so as to meet the requirement of the passive electronic device 200 for normal operation.
4) During the continuous power supply process, the wireless power supply device 100 and the passive electronic device 200 may establish a secure wireless data channel 400, and may transmit data, such as configuration information and sensitive information, according to the secure wireless data channel.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the configuration information may include configuration information (e.g., communication center frequency, rate, modulation parameters, key, etc.) required for subsequent establishment of the high-speed wireless data channel 500 between the wireless-powered device 100 and the passive electronic device 200. In this way, the wireless power supply device 100 and the passive electronic device 200 can avoid the manual configuration process when the high-speed wireless data channel 500 is subsequently established.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the secure wireless data channel 100 may employ a radio frequency communication protocol, such as an NFC protocol, an RFID protocol, or the like, to improve the security of communication.
In an embodiment of the present application, during the continuous power supply process, the wireless power supply device 100 and the passive electronic device 200 perform bidirectional authentication, and the specific authentication may be performed in a manner of password, challenge-response, or the like; after the mutual authentication is passed, the wireless energy supply device 100 establishes a secure wireless data channel 400 with the passive electronic device 200, so as to improve the security of communication. If mutual authentication fails, the wireless energizing device 100 can terminate energizing the passive electronic device 200.
5) During the continuous power supply process, the wireless power supply device 100 establishes a high-speed wireless data channel 500 with the passive electronic device 200 based on the configuration information.
In an embodiment of the present application, the high-speed wireless data channel 500 may use a short-distance wireless communication protocol such as a WiFi protocol, a bluetooth protocol, and the like.
In an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 4, the wireless communication method on the passive electronic device 200 side may include the following steps:
1) the passive electronic device 200 receives the limited energy signal externally transmitted by the wireless energy supply device 100 in an electromagnetic wave mode.
In an embodiment of the present application, after the passive electronic device 200 receives the limited-energy signal externally transmitted by the wireless energy supply device 100 in an electromagnetic wave manner, the limited-energy signal is converted into electric energy suitable for the wireless energy supply device 100 to use.
2) And under the energy supply of the limited energy signal, the passive electronic equipment feeds back the detection response signal to the wireless energy supply equipment in an electromagnetic wave mode.
In an embodiment of the present application, according to a predetermined convention, under the energizing of the limited energy signal, the passive electronic device 100 may feed back a detection response signal to the wireless energizing device 100 through the second coil 201 in an electromagnetic wave manner, so as to respond to the detection of the wireless energizing device 100.
3) And the passive electronic equipment receives the energy continuously provided by the wireless energy supply equipment through the wireless magnetic power supply channel.
4) And in the continuous energy supply process, the passive electronic equipment and the wireless energy supply equipment establish a safe wireless data channel and transmit configuration information according to the channel.
5) And the passive electronic equipment establishes a high-speed wireless data channel with the wireless energy supply equipment based on the configuration information.
In an exemplary application scenario of the present application, the wireless power supply device in the wireless communication system may be a smart phone 100 as shown in fig. 5 a. The smart phone 100 may further have an application 110 installed therein, where the application 110 may include modules such as an NFC control switch 111, a bluetooth control switch 112, a communication content controller 113, and an information display 114. As shown in fig. 5b, the NFC first coil 101 and the bluetooth first antenna 102 of the smart phone 100 may be disposed in the smart phone 100.
In the above application scenario, correspondingly, the passive electronic device in the wireless communication system may be a passive visual mobile phone protective case 200 as shown in fig. 6. The passive visual cell phone case 200 may include an NFC second coil 201, a bluetooth second antenna 202, a display screen 208, and other power modules 207. Due to the fact that the NFC communication distance is short, the position of the NFC second coil 201 on the visual mobile phone protective sleeve 200 is correspondingly matched with the position of the NFC first coil 101 on the smart mobile phone 100; however, the transmission distance of bluetooth is far relative to NFC, which is not limited to this, and may be specifically set as required.
In the above application scenario, the wireless transmission channel between the NFC first coil 101 and the NFC second coil 201 may be used as the secure wireless data channel 400, and the wireless transmission channel between the bluetooth first antenna 102 and the bluetooth second antenna 202 may be used as the high-speed wireless data channel 500.
In the above application scenario, during specific use, the passive visual mobile phone protective case 200 is firstly sleeved on the smart phone 100, or the passive visual mobile phone protective case 200 is close to the smart phone 100. After the application program 110 is opened, the NFC card reader function of the smartphone 100 may be started in the application program 110 through the NFC control switch 111, and at this time, the NFC first coil 101 may send a limited energy signal to the outside in an electromagnetic wave manner. If the distance between the NFC second coil 201 and the NFC first coil 101 meets the NFC communication requirement, the NFC second coil 201 receives the limited energy signal. Accordingly, the passive visual mobile phone protection case 200 returns a detection response signal through the NFC second coil 201. In this case, the smartphone 100 may establish a wireless magnetic power supply channel through the NFC first coil 101 and the NFC second coil 201, so that the smartphone 100 may continuously and stably feed energy to the NFC second coil 201 in the form of an electromagnetic wave through the NFC first coil 101; this constant and stable power supply allows the passive visual cell phone protective case 200 to work properly.
During the above-mentioned continuous and stable power supply process, the NFC first coil 101 and the NFC second coil 201 may establish an NFC connection (i.e., establish the secure wireless data channel 400). Based on the NFC connection, security information, bluetooth configuration information, and the like can be transmitted between the smart phone 100 and the passive visual mobile phone sheath 200. Based on the information transferred, a bluetooth connection (i.e., a high speed wireless data channel 500) can be automatically established between the smartphone 100 and the passive visual cell phone case 200. So far, a double data channel connection can be realized between the smart phone 100 and the passive visual mobile phone protective case 200. Based on the bluetooth connection, the smartphone 100 may transmit pictures, two-dimensional codes, text, etc. to the passive visual phone case 200 and display on the display screen 208. In another application scenario, as shown in fig. 6, one or more sensors 209 (e.g., a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a dust sensor, a photoelectric sensor, etc.) may be further configured on the passive visual mobile phone protective case 200, and accordingly, the smart phone 100 may acquire data information of the sensors 209 based on a bluetooth connection.
