Network coupling arrangement coupling at least one application to a network enables power consumption of application to be drastically reduced and battery-powered operation over long period

摘要

The arrangement (3', 6, 7) has an electrical power transfer device (21,21') feeding the application (1), an information transmission device which sends information to the application and/or receives information from the application and a communications controller for controlling communications with the network. A power transmission state controller (3', 6) controls the power transmission state to one of at least two states; a detector (3',7) detects a change into at least one of the states. If a power transmission state controller detects a change in state originated by the application when in one of the states, it changes over to the other state.- DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method of coupling at least one application to a network
