Wenguang Mao has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11474194
    Abstract: A method, device and computer program product for controlling the device by tracking a movement of a hand or other objects. The device receives acoustic signals. At least a portion of the received signals are transformed into two-dimensional sinusoids whose frequencies are proportional to an angle-of-arrival (AoA) and a propagation distance of the reflected signals. An AoA-distance profile is derived based on signals received from the object by evaluating frequencies of the two-dimensional sinusoids. Then, an AoA-distance pair is derived from the AoA-distance profile. A current location of the object is determined based on the estimated AoA-distance pair. The device then performs a command in response to detecting that the user moved to perform the command based on prior and current locations of the object.

At least a portion of the received signals are transformed into two-dimensional sinusoids whose frequencies are proportional to an angle-of-arrival (AoA) and a propagation distance of the reflected signals. An AoA-di stance profile is derived based on signals received from the object by evaluating frequencies of the two-dimensional sinusoids. Then, an AoA-di stance pair is derived from the AoA-di stance profile. A current location of the object is determined based on the estimated AoA-di stance pair.

  • Patent number: 10630597
    Abstract: In some examples, a system for an aggregate interface including a mmWave interface and a WLAN interface consistent with the disclosure includes a sending device to assign a plurality of frames to the WLAN interface and the mmWave interface and send the plurality of frames in a sequence via an aggregate interface, where the aggregate interface includes the WLAN interface and the mmWave interface. Additionally, the system includes a receiving device communicatively coupled to the sending device to determine the plurality of frames is received in a different sequence than the sequence the plurality of frames is sent by the sending device and place the plurality of frames in the sequence the plurality of frames is sent by the sending device.

  • Patent number: 10182414
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for tracking a mobile device. A reference position of the mobile device and a frequency offset between the mobile device and another device are estimated. Samples are then fetched at various frequencies from the receivers. The fetched signals are mixed with a pseudo transmitted signal. A relative distance between the mobile device and the other device is computed based on a change in frequency of the mixed signal at a current location, a velocity of the mobile device and the estimated frequency offset. An absolute distance between the mobile device and the other device is determined using the reference position and the computed relative distance. A location of the mobile device is then determined based on the mobile device's velocity and the determined absolute difference.
