DYNAMIC GESTURE RECOGNITION USING MMWAVE RADAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18063055 Titled 'DYNAMIC GESTURE RECOGNITION USING MMWAVE RADAR'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for recognizing dynamic gestures using mmWave radar. The method involves activating a gesture recognition mode on an electronic device when certain conditions are met. Radar data, specifically time-velocity data (TVD), is collected while the gesture recognition mode is active. The start and end of a gesture are detected based on the TVD. To classify the gesture, a specific gesture from a predefined set is determined based on the TVD between the start and end points. An event indicator is then generated to indicate that the user of the electronic device performed the classified gesture.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for end-to-end dynamic gesture recognition using mmWave radar is provided. The method includes triggering an electronic device to activate a gesture recognition mode in response to detecting that a condition for activating the gesture recognition mode is satisfied. The method includes obtaining radar data while the gesture recognition mode is activated, wherein the radar data includes time-velocity data (TVD). The method includes detecting a start and an end of a gesture based on the TVD of the obtained radar data. To classify the gesture, the method includes determining a gesture, from among a set of gesture, that corresponds to a portion of the TVD between the start and the end of the gesture. The method includes outputting an event indicator indicating that a user of the electronic device performed the gesture classified.
