Patent ID: 8121542

Claim:
A very short range contactless communication system for replacing a contact-based connector or flexi-cable between a first and a second electronic units comprising: a transmitter, wherein said transmitter comprising: at least one input, receiving at least one electronic input signal from the first electronic unit; a multiplexer, receiving digital data indicative of signals in said at least one input, and producing a serialized digital data stream indicative of signals in said at least one input; a transmitter MUX controller controlling the operation of said multiplexer; a high frequency contactless RF transmitter receiving said serialized digital data stream and producing modulated high frequency RF signal; and a transmitter antenna transmitting said modulated high frequency RF signal over a distance of less than 1 meter to a receiver; and a receiver wherein said receiver comprising: a receiver antenna receiving said modulated high frequency RF signal; a high frequency contactless RF receiver, receiving and detecting said modulated high frequency RF from said receiver antenna and generating a serial digital data stream in response to said RF signal; a de-multiplexer, receiving said generated serial digital data stream and generating digital output data; a receiver De-MUX controller controlling the operation of said de-multiplexer; and at least one output for outputting at least one electronic output signal to the second electronic unit, wherein said at least one electronic output signal is substantially identical to said least one electronic input signal.
