NON-TOUCH GESTURE CONTROL METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338085 titled 'NON-TOUCH GESTURE CONTROL METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract of this patent application describes an electronic device with a speaker and a microphone that can recognize non-touch gestures using ultrasonic signals.
- The device displays a target application that supports non-touch gesture recognition.
- It emits an autocorrelated ultrasonic signal from the speaker.
- The microphone collects a reflected signal after the ultrasonic signal encounters a non-touch gesture.
- Based on the target application and the reflected signal, the device controls the application in response to the non-touch gesture.
Potential Applications: - Gesture-controlled devices - Interactive displays - Accessibility technology for individuals with mobility impairments
Problems Solved: - Enhances user interaction with devices - Provides a hands-free interface - Improves accessibility for users with limited mobility
Benefits: - Increased convenience and ease of use - Enhanced user experience - Potential for new innovative applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: Title: "Gesture-Controlled Interactive Devices: Revolutionizing User Interaction" This technology can be applied in smart home devices, interactive kiosks, virtual reality systems, and healthcare equipment, among others. It has the potential to revolutionize user interaction and accessibility in various commercial settings.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device differentiate between different non-touch gestures? - The device uses signal processing algorithms to analyze the reflected signals and identify specific gestures based on patterns and characteristics. 2. Can this technology be integrated into existing devices or is it limited to specific hardware configurations? - This technology can be integrated into a wide range of electronic devices with speakers and microphones, making it versatile and adaptable to different applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device includes at least one speaker and at least one microphone. a method is applied to the device, where the method includes displaying a target application. the target application is an application that supports non-touch gesture recognition. the method further includes starting the at least one speaker to emit an autocorrelated ultrasonic signal. the method further includes starting the at least one microphone to collect a reflected signal reflected after the ultrasonic signal encounters a non-touch gesture. the method further includes controlling, based on the target application and the reflected signal, the target application in response to the non-touch gesture.
