Patent number: 9743364Abstract: A system including a wireless communication device and a peripheral device communicate with each other using radio frequency (RF) waves that are propagated using a user's own body as a transmission medium. The wireless communication device selectively controls the transmit output power of the peripheral device to cause the peripheral device to transmit data and information in a low-power transmission mode. This minimizes the amount of RF waves that are received at the wireless communication device as reflected RF waves, but helps to ensure that the RF waves that do reach the wireless communication device are transmitted as surface waves along the user's skin. Responsive to the receipt of the surface waves, and based on a validity of the information carried by those surface waves, the wireless communication device transitions from a locked state to an unlocked state.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications Inc.Inventors: Zhinong Ying, Kåre Agardh, Aleksandar Rodzevski, Henrik Bengtsson, Per Åstrand

Patent number: 9591682Abstract: A user of a cellular telephone also has a peripheral device, such as a wristlet or ring, for example, that is worn on, and contacts, the user's body. When the user depresses a user control, such as a power button or other control on the cellular telephone, a Body Area Network (BAN) communication link is established between the cellular telephone and the peripheral device. The BAN link utilizes the user's body as a transmission medium to carry data between the cellular telephone and the peripheral device. Additionally, a passcode stored at the peripheral device is sent to the cellular telephone over the BAN link. If the passcode is valid, the device will bypass a passcode entry screen and unlock the cellular telephone for the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications Inc.Inventors: Per Åstrand, Henrik Bengtsson, Aleksandar Rodzevski
