Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for determining locations of a plurality of electronic devices within a home. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing system having one or more processors and memory. The method includes: (1) obtaining device identification information for a plurality of electronic devices; (2) broadcasting, via a standard wireless communication protocol, a request based on the device identification information that a particular electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices be enabled to transmit or reflect location information using a radar technique; (3) receiving a signal from the particular electronic device, the signal indicating a location of the particular electronic device using a radar technique; and (4) determining the location of the particular electronic device based on the received signal.

Abstract: An electronic device is located in a room. The device has a casing, a first processor coupled to a radar transceiver, a second processor coupled to a motion sensor, and memory. Using the second processor, the device determines using signals from the motion sensor whether an object is in proximity. In accordance with a determination that the object is in proximity, the device wakes up the first processor. Using the first processor, the device enables operation of the radar transceiver. It determines using signals from the radar transceiver whether the object is in contact with the casing. In accordance with a determination that the object is in contact with the casing, the device identifies an input command based on at least one of: a location of the object, and a movement of the object, and adjusts operation based on the input command.

Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for implementing radar-based touch interfaces. In one aspect, a computing device includes: (1) a casing; (2) a radar transceiver configured to detect one or more objects in the vicinity of the computing device; and (3) one or more controllers coupled to the radar transceiver, the one or more controllers configured to, for each detected object in the one or more detected objects: (a) determine whether the detected object is in contact with the casing based on data received from the radar transceiver; (b) in accordance with a determination that the detected object is in contact with the casing, identifying an input command based on at least one of: a location of the detected object, and a movement of the detected object; and (c) adjust operation of the computing device based on the input command.
