Latest Patents

Ito is credited with 1 patent, titled “Communication device.” The invention allows a device to search for another communication device and request a service without needing to know the power-supply status of other devices on the network.

The device separates its main processing unit, which handles services, from its network processing unit, which sends and receives request and response packets. When the main processing unit is not needed, an integrated power supply unit can stop supplying it power while keeping the network processing unit active. An automatic responding unit determines whether the network processing unit can answer a request on its own. If it cannot, a power-supply controller activates the main processing unit. This arrangement is intended to reduce energy use while maintaining communication availability.

Career Highlights

Ito’s listed patent reflects work on energy-efficient network communication and power management. The available information identifies Panasonic Corporation as his company but does not provide further details about his role or career history.
