本标准确立了包含电源（代理）的设备与管理者（如手机、个人电脑、个人健康设备、机顶盒）之间通信的规范性定义，以实现即插即用互操作性。使用其他ISO/IEEE 11073标准中定义的现有术语、信息配置文件、应用配置文件标准和传输标准，本标准定义了包含电池的个人健康设备（PHD）通信功能的共同核心，包括:1）当前设备电源状态（例如，电源或电池）；2） 电源充电状态（例如，完全充电的百分比）；3）预计剩余时间（如分钟）。

This standard establishes a normative definition of communication between devices containing a power source (agents) and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set-top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. Using existing terminology, information profiles, application profile standards, and transport standards as defined in other ISO/IEEE 11073 standards, this standard defines a common core of communication functionality of personal health devices (PHDs) containing a battery, including: 1) current device power status (e.g., on mains or on battery); 2) power charge status (e.g., percent of full charge); and 3) estimated time remaining (e.g., minutes).
