Patents by Inventor Andrej Wallwitz

Andrej Wallwitz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11596045
    Abstract: A system and a method for operating a lighting device may include a transmission device and an optional communication unit. The transmission device may be configured to wirelessly transmit a radio signal with identification data specific to the transmission device of the lighting device via at least two radio channels. The transmitted radio signal transmitted via a respective one of the at least two channels may include channel data with respect to the respective one of the radio channels. In a non-limiting embodiment, the transmission device is a beacon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2023
    Assignee: OSRAM GmbH
    Inventors: Christoph Peitz, Andrej Wallwitz, Karl-Heinz Wallwitz, Andreas Zaggl, Michel Stutz, Henry Feil
  • Patent number: 11323257
    Abstract: A method for operating a beacon may include repeatedly emitting an identification number. The identification information is encrypted multiple times in a different manner by a one-way function and is emitted during the repeated emission in a differently encrypted form.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11307281
    Abstract: Lighting devices with lighting means, transmitting device for transmitting an electromagnetic data signal and energy buffer for current supply of the transmitting device are to be protected from exhaustive discharge. Thereto, an activation device is provided, by which the transmitting device can be activated from an energy-saving mode, in which the transmitting device is switched off, into an operating mode, in which the transmitting device is switched on for operationally transmitting the electromagnetic data signal.
