Abstract: Communication devices and techniques for facilitating dual-mode communication within a single wireless communication device are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory and logic for a wireless communication device, at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to perform a transmission determination to determine whether to transmit a signal in a low-energy mode or a body-communication mode, map the signal to a body-communication channel responsive to the transmission determination indicating the body-communication mode, and map the signal to a low-energy channel responsive to the transmission determination indicating the low-energy mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to Theremin-based positioning. In general, Theremin technology may operate based on changes in frequency that may be induced in a signal when a certain object (e.g., a user's hand) is proximate to a capacitive electrode. An example system may comprise at least four capacitive electrodes in an arrangement that reacts to proximate objects. A change in frequency sensed for any of the at least four capacitive electrodes may trigger a determination of distance from each of the capacitive electrodes to the object based on the frequency change, and a determination of object positioning data based on the distances. Embodiments may include, for example, the ability to verify the arrangement of the at least four capacitive electrodes, determine object position and/or orientation in a coordinate system referenced to the at least four capacitive electrodes, determine object motion, provide the positioning data to a requesting application, etc.
