SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANTENNA OBSTRUCTION DETECTION AND MITIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214021 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANTENNA OBSTRUCTION DETECTION AND MITIGATION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a logic system that uses touch-sensing algorithms to detect when a user is interacting with an electronic device in various ways, such as gripping it from the side or using fingers to touch the screen. It then determines if any antennas are obstructed and takes compensation actions to improve antenna performance.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Touch-sensing algorithms detect user interactions with the electronic device.
  • Detection of user grip, finger placement, and thumb/finger orientation.
  • Estimation of user thumb/finger orientation and velocity for predicting antenna occlusion.
  • Compensation actions taken to mitigate negative antenna performance due to obstructions.

Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices to improve antenna performance and user experience.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses issues related to antenna obstruction and performance degradation caused by user interactions with electronic devices.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced antenna performance.
  • Improved user experience.
  • Predictive capabilities for anticipating antenna occlusion.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the development of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices to optimize antenna performance and user satisfaction in the market.

Prior Art: Prior research in touch-sensing algorithms and antenna performance optimization in electronic devices may provide relevant background information for this technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in touch-sensing technologies and antenna design may influence the further development and application of this technology.

Questions about Touch-Sensing Logic: 1. How does the touch-sensing logic differentiate between various user interactions with the electronic device? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing compensation actions to improve antenna performance based on touch-sensing data?


Original Abstract Submitted

obstruction detecting logic may execute touch-sensing algorithms on the electronic device, which may detect when a user is gripping the electronic device from the side, when the fingers or hand of the user is on the edge of the electronic device, when the user is using one or more fingers to touch the electronic device, and may determine thumb and finger orientation. using the touch-sensing methods, it may be determined which antennas are obstructed. to mitigate negative antenna performance due to the determined obstruction, one or more compensation actions may be taken. the touch-sensing algorithms may estimate user thumb/finger orientation and velocity, which may be used to predict future antenna occlusion (e.g., if the hand of the user is in motion).
