Huawei New Patent: wearable device supports Netless Communication with Beidou Satellite

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com April 26 news, Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. applied for "wearable devices, Beidou short message sending method and related products" patent announced recently.

The summary shows that the application provides a wearable device, comprising an antenna radiator, a Beidou communication module and a processor; the Beidou communication module includes a satellite positioning unit and a short message unit; the satellite positioning unit is used under the control of the processor to obtain global location information through the antenna radiator; the short message unit is used for multiplexing the antenna radiator to send and receive the Beidou short message under the control of the processor. An illustration of the relevant modules is attached to CTOnews.com as follows:

The application also provides a method for sending a Beidou short message applied to a wearable device, comprising: when the processor of the wearable device receives an input signal and / or determines that the current environment meets the trigger conditions, control the Beidou communication module to send the Beidou short message through the antenna radiator. The scheme of this application enables wearable devices to communicate with the outside world through Beidou satellite in a network-free environment, so as to meet the communication needs of users in emergency situations.

Prior to the release of Huawei WATCH Ultimate smartwatch, it has supported two-way Beidou satellite communication technology, can ask for help even if there is no signal, and supports one-click sending Beidou satellite messages.
