System and method for wrist band transmitter and system thereof
A light weight transmission device providing an identification signal is disclosed. In one aspect, the device comprises a gating device for controlling the transfer of information to the transmitter, a data retaining device, in communication with the gating device, receiving and storing the information for a known period of time, and a controller, in communication with the gating device, providing a signal to the gating device to enable transfer of the retained information to the transmitter at a known time and for a known period of time.
1. A lightweight transmission device comprising:
a transmitter;
a gating device controlling a transfer of information to said transmitter;
a data retaining device, in communication with said gating device, receiving and storing said information;
a receiving system receiving a synchronization signal, and
a controller, in communication with said gating device, said receiving system and said transmitter, said controller:
providing a signal to said gating device to enable transfer of said stored information to said transmitter at an offset time after receipt of said synchronization signal, wherein said transmitter transmits said information; and
providing a signal to said transmitter after completion of said transmission of said information from said data retaining device, said signal being delayed a known, non-zero, time after said completion of said transmission of said information, said signal causing said transmitter to generate and transmit a stop pulse, at substantially said known non-zero time after said completion of said transmission of said information.
2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
means for resetting at least selected areas of said data retaining device.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein said information includes an identification code.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein said identification code is pre-loaded in said data retaining device.
5. The device of claim 3 , wherein said identification code received by said receiving system.
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein said identification code is stored in a storage device.
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein said offset time is preloaded.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein said offset time is received by said receiving system.
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein said information includes at least an identification code of a known number of bits.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the identification code is at least 16 bits.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein each bit is transmitted for a period of 61 nanoseconds.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein said offset time is determined with respect to a predetermined indicator.
13. The device of claim 12 , wherein said predetermined indicator is said received signal.
14. The device of claim 1 , further comprising;
means for providing to said controller a signal to cause transfer of said information to said transmitter.
15. The device of claim 1 , wherein said information includes at least a known number of bits transmitted at a first known period between each of said bits and at least one unmodulated bit transmitted a second known period after transmission of a last of said known number of bits.
