  • Patent number: 11817658
    Abstract: Electrical equipment includes an internal antenna, an external connector, a first radio module, a second radio module, an RF link enabling the second radio module to be connected to the external connector, a detector device arranged, when a test signal is transmitted over the external connector via the RF link, to produce a detection signal representative of whether or not the external antenna is connected to the external connector; and control means arranged to control the second radio module so that it generates and transmits the test signal via the RF link, to acquire the detection signal, and depending on the detection signal, to connect or disconnect the first radio module to or from the external connector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11095077
    Abstract: Electrical equipment comprising a first portion and a second portion that is electrically insulated from the first portion, the first portion comprising a frontal component, a diode, a photodiode and a processing module, the second portion comprising a first connector connected to the frontal component while being electrically insulated therefrom, a receiving space being arranged to receive a second connector that is able to be connected to the first connector, the processing module being arranged to deliver a supply current to the light-emitting diode so that the latter produces an emitted light signal, in order to acquire a detection electrical signal produced by the photodiode representative of a light signal received by the photodiode, and in order to detect a presence or absence of the second connector in the receiving space depending on the detection electrical signal.
