WIRELESS ENABLED CAP FOR A DATA-CAPABLE DEVICE

摘要

A housing (e.g., a wearable structure) includes a sensor to capture sensor data and a plug to electrically communicate data (e.g., the sensor data) to another device via a hard wired connection. A wirelessly enabled cap may be coupled with the housing and may include: a cavity to house the plug; a RF chip disposed within the housing; and an antenna electrically coupled with the chip. The chip is to wirelessly communicate data (e.g., the sensor data) in accordance with a wireless communication protocols (e.g., short-range, long-range, near field). An antenna may form an exterior portion(s) of the housing and/or may be embedded in a portion of the housing. The chip may be passively powered from an external RF source (e.g., an externally generated RF signal electrically coupled with the chip through an antenna).
