Abstract: By combining a signal generator with integrated sensors and the ability to accept external instructions, a unique system of active devices can efficiently improve the overall power management and improve the products overall performance. One example of this system would be to design a force sensor, a RC network, an EEPROM, and a receiver module into a portable electronic device. In this system the device might be originally designed to “wake up” once every hour and transmit data. In addition, the device could further be designed to “wake up” and only send data if the sensor (S) is in the high state. Further, the device could be designed to “wake up”, check the force sensors signal or logic position, then query for external signals which might instruct the device to: remain on indefinitely, change the frequency of the DC, or ignore the force sensor.
