摘要: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a smartphone-based radar system facilitating ease and accuracy of user interactions with displayed objects in an augmented-reality interface. The techniques and systems use a radar field to accurately determine three-dimensional (3D) gestures that can be used to interact with augmented-reality (AR) objects that are presented on a display of an electronic device, such as a smartphone. These techniques allow the user to make 3D gestures from a distance—the user does not have to hold the electronic device steady while touching the screen and the gestures do not obstruct the user's view of the AR objects presented on the display.

摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement smartphone-based power-efficient radar processing and memory provisioning for detecting gestures. The described techniques map different situations that occur with a user to different memory states. A radar processing system's memory management module allocates at least one memory pool according to an active memory state. As the radar system detects different situations that occur with the user, the memory management module reallocates the memory pool for the appropriate memory state, which can adjust a power mode of the radar system. In some cases, physically separate memories may be allocated for different memory states, which respectively include one or more sequences that are executed by different processors. The memory management module enables efficient use of available power and available memory for radar processing such that a total amount of power and a total size of memory used may be significantly reduced for detecting gestures.

摘要: This document describes apparatuses and techniques for radar-enabled sensor fusion. In some aspects, a radar field is provided and reflection signals that correspond to a target in the radar field are received. The reflection signals are transformed to provide radar data, from which a radar feature indicating a physical characteristic of the target is extracted. Based on the radar features, a sensor is activated to provide supplemental sensor data associated with the physical characteristic. The radar feature is then augmented with the supplemental sensor data to enhance the radar feature, such as by increasing an accuracy or resolution of the radar feature. By so doing, performance of sensor-based applications, which rely on the enhanced radar features, can be improved.

摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that enable power management using a low-power radar. The described techniques enable a radar system to reduce overall power consumption, thereby facilitating incorporation and utilization of the radar system within power-limited devices. In one aspect, the radar system can replace other power-hungry sensors and provide improved performance in the presence of different environmental conditions, such as low lighting, motion, or overlapping targets. In another aspect, the radar system can cause other components within the electronic device to switch to an off-state based on detected activity in an external environment. By actively switching the components between an on-state or the off-state, the radar system enables the computing device to respond to changes in the external environment without the use of an automatic shut-off timer or a physical touch or verbal command from a user.

摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a multi-radar system within a device and optimize operation of the multi-radar system. The multi-radar system includes two or more radar circuits located at different positions on the device. The multi-radar system also includes an optimization controller, which controls operational states of the radar circuits. In particular, the optimization controller determines respective operational states of the radar circuits to optimize performance of the multi-radar system under certain constraints. For example, the optimization controller can alter the respective operational states for different radar circuits responsive to detecting various trigger events. In this way, the optimization controller can selectively alter the operational states of the radar circuits for various situations.

摘要: This document describes techniques and systems that enable a mobile device-based radar system for applying different power modes to a multi-mode interface. The techniques and systems include a user device having a radar system, and an interaction manager. The radar system generates a radar field, provides radar data, and operates at one of various different radar-power states. The user device analyzes the radar data to detect a presence or movement of a user within the radar field. Responsive to the detection, the radar system changes from a first radar-power state to a second radar-power state. Based on this change, the interaction manager selects a power mode, for a multi-mode interface, that corresponds to the second radar-power state, and applies the selected power mode to the multi-mode interface to provide a corresponding display via a display device.

摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart-device-based radar system capable of performing near-range detection. The radar system employs a near-range detection module for detecting objects at near ranges in the presence of interference and a far-range detection module for detecting objects at far ranges. By evaluating separate range intervals, these modules can be designed to achieve a target false-alarm rate and detection performance by tailoring their processing to general characteristics of objects and interference at their respective range intervals. This enables the near-range detection module to detect a near-range object without generating a false detection associated with the interference. By utilizing the near-range detection module and the far-range detection module, the radar system can detect objects at both near and far ranges while achieving a target false-alarm rate.

摘要: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement face authentication anti-spoofing using ultrasound. In particular, a face-authentication system uses ultrasound to distinguish between a real human face and a presentation attack that uses instruments to present a version of a human face. The face-authentication system includes or communicates with an ultrasonic sensor, which can detect a presentation attack and notify the face-authentication system. In general, the ultrasonic sensor analyzes characteristics of a presented object and determines whether the object represents a human face or a presentation attack instrument. In this way, the ultrasonic sensor can prevent unauthorized actors from using the presentation attack to gain access to a user's account or information.

摘要: This document describes techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition with context-sensitive gating and other context-sensitive controls. Sensor data from a proximity sensor and/or a movement sensor produces a context of a user equipment. The techniques and systems enable the user equipment to recognize contexts when a radar system can be unreliable and should not be used for gesture-recognition, enabling the user equipment to automatically disable or “gate” the output from the radar system according to context. The user equipment prevents the radar system from transitioning to a high-power state to perform gesture-recognition in contexts where radar data detected by the radar system is likely due to unintentional input. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition.
