  • Patent number: 9343801
    Abstract: An electronic device having a radiation part and a metallic frame is provided. The radiation part is L-shaped, and includes a feeding branch and an open branch. The metallic frame includes a first metallic part and a second metallic part. The first metallic part is L-shaped, wherein a first side of the first metallic part is near the open branch of the radiation part, and a first gap exists therebetween. The second metallic part is L-shaped, wherein an open terminal of a first side of the second metallic part is aligned with an open terminal of the first side of the first metallic part, and a second gap exists therebetween. The radiation part and the metallic frame forms an antenna to transceive a plurality of radio frequency signals.

  • Patent number: 9306281
    Abstract: A wireless communication device including an antenna element and a resonant divider is provided. The antenna element has a resonant path so that an operation frequency of the antenna element covers a first band and a second band. The resonant divider is electrically connected to the antenna element and provides a current path connected in parallel with a part of the resonant path. The resonant divider delays a current flowing through the current path so that the antenna element is incapable of covering an interval band between the first band and the second band.

  • Publication number: 20150042517
    Abstract: A multi-band antenna including a ground plane, a radiation element, a first extension element and a second extension element is provided. The radiation element includes a first portion and a second portion electrically connected with each other. The first portion has a feeding point. The first and the second extension elements are extended from the ground plane. The first extension element and the first portion are spaced by a first coupling distance. The second extension element and the second portion are spaced by a second coupling distance. The multi-band antenna is operated in a first band through the radiation element. A feeding signal from the radiation element excites the first and the second extension elements through the first and the second coupling distances so that the multi-band antenna is operated further in a second band and a third band.

  • Publication number: 20150022422
    Abstract: A mobile device includes a dielectric substrate, a ground plane, an RF (Radio Frequency) module, an antenna structure, a bypass inductor, matching circuits, and a switch circuit. The antenna structure includes a first radiation element and a second radiation element. The first end of the first radiation element is connected to the RF module, and the second end of the first radiation element is open. The second radiation element is separate from the first radiation element. The first end of the second radiation element is open and adjacent to the first radiation element, and the second end of the second radiation element is connected through the bypass inductor to the ground plane. The switch circuit selects one of the matching circuits according to a control signal. The second end of the second radiation element is further connected through the selected matching circuit to the ground plane.

  • Publication number: 20140208342
    Abstract: An intelligent interactive TV remote-control system includes: a server, a TV device, a set-top box device, and an intelligent interactive remote-control device. The server is used for storing multimedia data and providing usage authentication service. The TV device is provided for playing multimedia data. The set-top box device is connected to the server and the TV device for downloading multimedia data from the server and outputting the same to the TV device for display. The intelligent interactive remote-control device is started for being connected to the server to perform usage authentication service thereby matching with the set-top-box device. When matching is successful, the intelligent interactive remote-control device is connected to the set-top box device and an interactive remote-control interface is generated corresponding to a playing window outputted from the set-top box device and displayed on the TV device for remotely controlling the set-top box device.
