Samsung patents phone method for timing satellite signal transmission

Patent drawing from the official filing.

This patent describes a method for an electronic device to communicate with a satellite by first checking its memory for specific connection details. If the information is found, the device calculates the precise moment to send a signal to ensure the satellite can receive it.

Why it mattersThis improves the reliability of satellite connections for devices by ensuring signals are sent at the correct time, which is essential for maintaining a stable link with fast-moving satellites.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device includes one or more processors including processing circuitry, and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to, based on a satellite being detected, identify whether connection information related to the satellite is present in the memory, based on the connection information related to the satellite being present in the memory, determine, based on the connection information, a transmission time point for transmitting a transmission signal to the satellite, and transmit, during the transmission time point, the transmission signal to the satellite.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device, comprising: one or more processors comprising processing circuitry; and memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: based on a satellite being detected, identify whether connection information related to the satellite is present in the memory; based on the connection information related to the satellite being present in the memory, determine, based on the connection information, a transmission time point for transmitting a transmission signal to the satellite; and transmit, during the transmission time point, the transmission signal to the satellite.
