  • Patent number: 11322142
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide an acoustic sensing-based text input method, comprising: obtaining audio information corresponding to text to be input; dividing the audio information to obtain an audio segment for each letter to be recognized in the text to be input; sending to the server, a type of the text to be input, the audio segments for letters to be recognized, and arrangement of the audio segment for the letter to be recognized in the audio information; receiving input result returned by the server, and displaying, based on the input result, text information corresponding to the text to be input on the display screen of the mobile terminal. The method allows effective text input without relying on a display screen.

  • Patent number: 11061115
    Abstract: A method for gesture recognition, a terminal, and a storage medium are provided by the embodiments of the present application. The method may include: receiving, through the millimeter wave apparatus, a first millimeter wave, where the first millimeter wave is a reflected wave formed after a second millimeter wave transmitted by the millimeter wave apparatus is modulated via a gesture motion; processing the first millimeter wave based on two types of time arrays and Doppler estimation to obtain at least one set of signal characteristic values corresponding to the first millimeter wave; identifying the at least one set of signal characteristic values using a correspondence library of standard characteristic values and control instructions, and obtaining a first control instruction corresponding to the gesture motion; and controlling a first application to implement a corresponding function using the first control instruction.

  • Patent number: 10470675
    Abstract: A wireless vibrometer employs an antenna array to significantly boost the signal-to-noise ratio of faint received signals twin small objects vibrating at acoustic frequencies. This technique may be used to provide an improved physiological monitor (such as a pulse detector) or for long-range eavesdropping using the emitted power from a cell phone or the like.
