Patent ID: 8209127

Claim:
A molecular communication system comprising: a molecular transmitter configured to transmit an information molecule onto which prescribed information is encoded; a molecular receiver configured to receive the information molecule; a molecule propagation channel extending from the molecular transmitter to the molecular receiver; and a molecular capsule configured to encapsulate the information molecules, the molecular capsule being transported from the molecular transmitter to the molecular receiver; wherein the surfaces of the molecular transmitter, the molecular receiver, and the molecular capsule have the lipid bilayer membrane structure, and wherein the system further includes encapsulator configured to apply a first chemical substance to the molecular transmitter and the molecular capsule, the molecular capsule being placed outside the molecular transmitter at a variable distance from the molecular transmitter, to encapsulate the information molecules into the molecular capsule, and decapsulator configured to apply a second chemical substance to the molecular capsule and the molecular receiver to take the information molecules out of the molecular capsule and take them into the molecular receiver.
