The method of claim 2, wherein generating the physical interface software comprises determining physical interface components and associated protocols for each of the power tool types.Ĥ. The method of claim 1, wherein the interface module includes: physical interface software enabling translation of communications between the universal core module and external devices and tool component interface software enabling translation of communications between the universal core module and internal components of the plurality of power tools.ģ.

A method of implementing a universal protocol on a plurality of power tools, the plurality of power tools including a variety of power tool types, the method comprising: generating an interfacing module including universal core module for implementing the universal protocol, the universal core module being generic to the plurality of power tools and including a set of rules enabling interpretation and handling of communications that are in accordance with the universal protocol, and an interface module particular to each of the power tool types, the interface module configured to translate communications on route to the universal core module to the universal protocol and to translate communications output by the universal core module from the universal protocol to another protocol receiving, by a memory of each of the plurality of power tools, the interfacing module generating application software and parameters particular to each power tool and using the interfacing module of each power tool to install on each power tool the application software and parameters particular to that power tool.Ģ. Thanks Illini and further if you got down this sheet it specifically states what tools! Read down to claim 7 ġ. The communications may be used, for example, to obtain tool performance data from the tools and to provide firmware updates.Īssignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation In response, the universal core module outputs communications according to the universal protocol and the set of rules, which may be translated to another protocol for receipt by components of the tool or an external device.

The translated communications are handled by the universal core module of a particular tool according to a set of rules. Communications to and from the power tools are translated to a universal protocol once received. The universal protocol may be implemented using a universal core module that is installed across a variety of power tools and other devices to enable communications therewith. Given the Wifi icon within the one key logo, maybe it is related.Ībstract: A system and method for communicating with power tools using a universal protocol. I ran across the following patented information for Milwaukee. So what do you guys think? There are clues out there and this is all I can think of. With Ryobi already offering a basic set of electronics this could have set the frame work for Milwaukee to really dominate an area that is being doctored to work via apps that sometimes hit the mark and sometimes don’t. This device could be slaved to electronic devices similar to Ryobi’ new entry into digital work but with a broad based device made specifically for work site conditions. A device capable of serving a contractor in the field that can allow instant transfer of information to “the office”, design, layout, photograph, monitor etc. I posted this on Stuart's commentary and I will repeat I here,Īgreed, wifi but…maybe a new type of Cellular phone or Tablet specifically designed for the field. I know there's some speculation and there has been a topic posted but what do you guys think this will be.
