Key Characteristics & Benefits

This patent portfolio discloses a portable infrared (IR) communication system.

• The system includes a universal IR transmitter communicating with an IR wireless receiver.
• The transmitter is removably coupled with a communication device, such as a mobile phone.
• The transmitter includes a microphone, modulation circuitry, and an IR light emitting device.
• Sound output from a user is picked up by the microphone, converted to electric pulses by the modulation circuitry, and then transmitted as IR light signals to the IR receiver.
• The IR receiver then converts the electric pulses into electric signals, which are further converted to audio signals that are then outputted from speakers or headphones.
• This portable communication system (or the transmitter) can be connected to an audio port of a communication device, such as a mobile phone.
• The signals from the communication device are sent to a receiver, such as a wireless headset, through this transmitter providing privacy to the users.
• Pulse code modulation is used. This results in relatively low power consumption while achieving high quality communication.

Market Potential

This is an important portfolio for companies manufacturing communication devices, in particular portable devices.

• The use of pulse code modulation, with lower power consumption, will open previously closed market segments for infrared communication.
