Abstract: Techniques for presence-detection devices to vary presence-detection sensitivity to detect different types of movements by objects, such as major movements and minor movements, using ultrasonic signals. The devices detect movement of a person in an environment by emitting ultrasonic signals into the environment, and characterizing the change in the frequency, or the Doppler shift, of the reflections of the ultrasonic signals off the person caused by the movement of the person relative to the presence-detection devices. The presence-detection devices may control the presence-detection sensitivity in order to detect major movements, such as a user walking in a room, as well as objects minor movements, such as a user typing at a computer. By adjusting the presence-detection sensitivity, the devices are able to improve the overall accuracy of detecting the presence of users in an environment.
