Patent ID: 7602289

Claim:
A control system for an electrical device comprising: a first connector; an IC chip disposed in a casing of the first connector; a first antenna disposed in the casing of the first connector, for wirelessly transmitting ID data from the IC chip; a second connector detachable from the first connector, electrically connecting the electrical device when coupled to the first connector; a second antenna disposed in a casing of the second connector, brought close to the first antenna to amplify and transmit a radio wave from the first antenna, when the first and second connectors are normally coupled together; a control device electrically coupled to the second connector; a database having recorded thereon characteristic data of the electrical device corresponding to the ID data of the IC chip, wherein the control device reads the characteristic data of the electrical device corresponding to the ID data of the IC chip and controls the electrical device based on the characteristic data; an IC tag read unit for reading ID data of the electrical device electrically connected to the first connector, via an antenna disposed in the second connector coupled to the first connector; a characteristic data input unit for receiving the characteristic data of the electrical device from the outside; a correction data creating unit for determining an error in the characteristic data relative to basic characteristic data of the electrical device; a characteristic data correction table having recorded thereon the I D data read by the IC tag read unit, associated with the correction data of the electrical device; and a characteristic data download unit for outputting the correction data of the electrical device from the characteristic data correction table in response to a request from the outside.
