  • Publication number: 20240178936
    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a receiver. The receiver receives, from a transmitter, a signal carrying a constellation symbol. The receiver processes the received signal by a soft symbol demapper to generate a first soft output of a first set of bits and a second soft output of a second set of bits. The receiver processes the second soft output by a soft syndrome former to generate a third soft output of a third set of bits. The soft syndrome former corresponds to a shaping code applied at the transmitter. The receiver recovers bits represented by the constellation symbol based on the first soft output and the third soft output.

  • Patent number: 11936418
    Abstract: A radar signal processing system with a self-interference cancelling function includes an analog front end (AFE) processor, an analog to digital converter (ADC), an adaptive interference canceller (AIC), and a digital to analog converter (DAC). The AFE processor receives an original input signal and generates an analog input signal. The ADC converts the analog input signal to a digital input signal. The AIC generates a digital interference signal digital interference signal by performing an adaptive interference cancellation process according to the digital input signal. The DAC converts the digital interference signal to an analog interference signal. Finally, the analog interference signal is fed back to the AFE and cancelled from the original input signal in the AFE processor while performing the front end process, reducing the interference of the static interference from the leaking of a close-by transmitter during the front end process.

  • Patent number: 11892562
    Abstract: A performing device of an impulse-like gesture recognition system executes an impulse-like gesture recognition method. A performing procedure of the impulse-like gesture recognition method includes steps of: receiving a sensing signal from a sensing unit; determining a prediction with at least one impulse-like label according to the sensing frames by a deep learning-based model; and classifying at least one gesture event according to the prediction. The gesture event is classified to determine the motion of the user. Since the at least one impulse-like label is used to label at least one detection score of the deep learning-based model, the detection score is non-decreasing, reaction time of the at least one gesture event for an incoming gesture is fast, rapid consecutive gestures are easily decomposed, and an expensive post-processing is not needed.

  • Patent number: 11804077
    Abstract: A generic gesture detecting method executed by a generic gesture detecting device includes steps of: receiving a current sensing signal from a sensing unit; generating a current image according to the current sensing signal; determining whether the current image is similar with a stored image stored in a memory unit; when the current image is similar with the stored image, detecting the current image and the stored image to be a gesture signal; when the current image is different from the stored image, storing the current image into the memory unit, and returning to the step of receiving a current sensing signal. Since the generic gesture detecting device can automatically detect the gesture signal, the user may not need to enable a detecting time period before implementing a command motion. Therefore, the user can make the command motion without enabling the detecting time period, and the convenience can be increased.
