Abstract

A communication device includes: a coil disposed around a core area of the communication device; a processor disposed in the core area and configured to establish communication with an external device through the coil; and a discrete element disposed on the coil and connected to the processor through a via.

Claims (23)

1. A wireless device, comprising:

a substrate formed of a flexible material and configured to cover a target;

electrodes disposed on a face of the substrate that is configured to be in contact with the target in a longitudinal direction of the substrate; and

an electrode router configured to connect the electrodes to a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to allocate channels to the electrodes and arrange electrodes corresponding to a same channel among the channels to be adjacent to each other on the substrate, in response to common noise of a value greater than or equal to a threshold value being included in an electrical signal detected from the target.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the substrate helically covers the target.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the electrode router is configured to

transfer, to the processor, an electrical signal detected through a first electrode among the electrodes, and apply an electrical signal to a point of the target that is in contact with a second electrode, among the electrodes, that is different from the first electrode.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to allocate a sensing channel of the electrode router to one or more electrodes among the electrodes, and allocate a stimulating channel of the electrode router to one or more remaining electrodes among the electrodes.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein

the electrodes are classified based on channels, and

electrodes corresponding to a same channel among the channels are disposed to be adjacent to each other on the substrate.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein

the electrodes are classified based on channels, and

electrodes corresponding to a same channel among the channels are arranged not to be adjacent to each other on the substrate.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to allocate a sensing channel of the electrode router to one or more electrodes among the electrodes, and allocate a stimulating channel of the electrode router to one or more other electrodes among the electrodes, based on an electrical signal detected from the target.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the target is a nerve.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the nerve is a vagus nerve.

10. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the electrodes are classified based on channels.

11. A wireless device, comprising:

a substrate formed of a flexible material and configured to cover a target;

electrodes disposed on a face of the substrate that is configured to be in contact with the target in a longitudinal direction of the substrate; and

an electrode router configured to connect the electrodes to a processor, wherein the processor is configured to allocate channels to the electrodes and arrange electrodes corresponding to a same channel among the channels not to be adjacent to each other on the substrate, in response to common noise of a value less than a threshold value being included in an electrical signal detected from the target.
