APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POWER SAVING IN GESTURE RECOGNITION USING MMWAVE RADAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18068513 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POWER SAVING IN GESTURE RECOGNITION USING MMWAVE RADAR

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a method for operating a proximity-detection module in an electronic device. - The method involves using radar data obtained from a radar transceiver to determine the distance, velocity, and angle of a target relative to the electronic device. - The configuration of the radar transceiver is adjusted based on the distance, velocity, or angle of the target. - If the distance, velocity, or angle is above a certain threshold, the determining and adjusting operations are repeated. - If all the distance, velocity, and angle are below their respective thresholds, the method checks for the detection of a wake-up trigger for gesture-based commands. - If a wake-up trigger is detected, the gesture-recognition module of the electronic device is activated.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes, during operation of a proximity-detection module of an electronic device: determining a distance, velocity, and angle of a target relative to the electronic device based on radar data obtained from a radar transceiver of the electronic device; adjusting a configuration of the radar transceiver based on at least one of the distance, velocity, or angle of the target; and while at least one of the distance, velocity, or angle is greater than a respective threshold, repeating the determining and adjusting operations. The method also includes, in response to determining that each of the distance, velocity, and angle is less than its respective threshold, determining whether at least one wake-up trigger for gesture-based commands is detected. The method further includes, in response to determining that the at least one wake-up trigger for gesture-based commands is detected, triggering operation of a gesture-recognition module of the electronic device.
