Publication number: 20240094827Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for robust radar-based gesture-recognition. A radar system detects radar-based gestures on behalf of application subscribers. A state machine transitions between multiple states based on inertial sensor data. A no-gating state enables the radar system to output radar-based gestures to application subscribers. The state machine also includes a soft-gating state that prevents the radar system from outputting the radar-based gestures to the application subscribers. A hard-gating state prevents the radar system from detecting radar-based gestures altogether. The techniques and systems enable the radar system to determine when not to perform gesture-recognition, enabling user equipment to automatically reconfigure the radar system to meet user demand. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jung Ook Hong, Patrick M.

Patent number: 11841933Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable radar-based authentication status feedback. A radar field is used to enable an electronic device to account for the user's distal physical cues to determine and maintain an awareness of the user's location and movements around the device. This awareness allows the device to anticipate some of the user's intended interactions and provide functionality in a timely and seamless manner, such as preparing an authentication system to authenticate the user before the user touches or speaks to the device. These features also allow the device to provide visual feedback that can help the user understand that the device is aware of the user's location and movements. In some cases, the feedback is provided using visual elements presented on a display.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2020Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Leonardo Giusti, Ivan Poupyrev, Vignesh Sachidanandam, Johan Prag, Brandon Barbello, Tyler Reed Kugler, Alok Chandel

Publication number: 20230239537Abstract: This application is directed to changing a TV operating mode based on a potential relationship among viewers of a connected TV. In some implementations, a method includes: determining viewer identities and identifying the potential relationship among the viewers or a subset of the viewers; in accordance with a determination that the potential relationship allows the viewers to share private information, placing or maintaining the connected TV in or into a first operating mode that is unrelated to media content being displayed and allows personal information to be displayed on the connected TV; and in accordance with a determination that the potential relationship does not allow the viewers to share private information, placing or maintaining the connected TV in or into a second operating mode that is unrelated to the media content and does not allow personal information to be displayed on the connected TV.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Alok Chandel, Eric HC Liu, Pierre-Yves Laligand, Justin Koh

Patent number: 11360192Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for reducing a state based on sensor data from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and radar. The techniques and systems use inertial sensor data from an IMU as well as radar data to reduce states of a user equipment, such as power, access, and information states. These states represent power used, an amount of access permitted, or an amount of information provided by the user equipment. The techniques manage the user equipment's states to correspond to a user's engagement with the user equipment, which can save power, reduce unwarranted access, and reduce an amount of information provided when the user is not engaged with the user equipment, thereby protecting the user's privacy.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alok Chandel, Leonardo Giusti, Artur Tsurkan, Selim Flavio Cinek, Johan Prag, Tyler Reed Kugler, Lucas Dupin Moreira Costa, Vignesh Sachidanandam, Brandon Barbello
