Abstract:
Examples of systems, devices, and methods are described herein that can provide for gesture recognition. Wireless communication signals are received from sources in an environment (e.g. cellular telephones, computers, etc.). Features of the wireless communication signals (e.g. Doppler shifts) are extracted and utilized to identify gestures. The use of wireless communication signals accordingly make possible gesture recognition in a whole-home environment that identifies gestures performed through walls or other obstacles.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for sensing environmental changes using electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals are disclosed herein. An EMI monitoring system may be used to monitor an EMI signal of one or more EMI signal sources provided over a power line, e.g., in a home or building. The received EMI energy at the power line may be analyzed to detect variations in the EMI signature indicative of environmental changes occurring in the proximity of the signal sources. Examples include detection of gestures on or near liquid crystal displays using EMI signals generated by internal operation of the liquid crystal displays.

Systems and methods for sensing environmental changes using electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals are disclosed herein. An EMI monitoring system may be used to monitor an EMI signal of one or more light sources provided over a power line, e.g., in a home or building. The received EMI energy at the power line may be analyzed to detect variations in the EMI signature indicative of environmental changes occurring in the proximity of the light sources. Environmental changes that may be sensed include, but are not limited to, proximity, touch, motion, and temperature change.
