Jean-Charles Andreani

Title: Jean-Charles Andreani and Multi-Protocol Connector Innovation.

Introduction

Jean-Charles Andreani is an inventor associated with Hong Kong, China, and Lantronix, Inc. His patent work addresses a practical challenge in communication devices: supporting multiple data protocols without requiring a separate connector for each one.

Latest Patents

Andreani is associated with 1 patent, titled “Data Protocol Detection and Switching of Multi-Protocol Data on Common Connectors.” The invention describes a device that uses a common connector to carry different types of data. Detector logic identifies the protocol arriving through the connector and directs the data along the appropriate path.

The patent also describes ways to transmit data based on the number of pins in the common connector and the receiving device’s native connector. This approach is intended to help ensure that data reaches the receiving device through a suitable path. By replacing multiple connector types with one shared connector, the design can support smaller devices and potentially reduce space and energy requirements.

Career Highlights

Andreani’s listed patent reflects work on connector design and protocol handling for communication networks. His association with Lantronix, Inc. connects this invention to a company working in networking and connectivity technologies.
