    摘要: The description relates to user control gestures. One example allows a speaker and a microphone to perform a first functionality. The example simultaneously utilizes the speaker and the microphone to perform a second functionality. The second functionality comprises capturing sound signals that originated from the speaker with the microphone and detecting Doppler shift in the sound signals. It correlates the Doppler shift with a user control gesture performed proximate to the computer and maps the user control gesture to a control function.

    摘要: Examples of systems, devices, and methods are described herein that may provide for gesture recognition. Wireless communication signals may be received from sources in an environment (e.g. cellular telephones, computers, etc.). Features of the wireless communication signals (e.g. Doppler shifts) may be extracted and utilized to identify gestures. The use of wireless communication signals may accordingly make possible gesture recognition in a whole-home environment that may identify gestures performed through walls or other obstacles.
