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: 11790693Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for authentication management through IMU and radar. The techniques and systems use inertial sensor data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and/or radar data to manage authentication for a computing device. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for computing-device authentication.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alok Chandel, Leonardo Giusti, Artur Tsurkan, Selim Flavio Cinek, Johan Prag, Tyler Reed Kugler, Lucas Dupin Moreira Costa, Vignesh Sachidanandam, Brandon Barbello

Patent number: 11620048Abstract: A computing device is described that displays a set of graphical elements in a status bar of a graphical user interface. Each graphical element corresponds to a different pending notification. While expanding a notification shade from the status bar, the device displays the graphical elements within an area of the notification shade that is adjacent to a leading edge of the notification shade. Responsive to determining that a particular notification message is newly visible, the device removes, a particular graphical element that corresponds to the particular notification message, and displays the particular graphical element within the particular notification message. In this manner, interaction with the notification area may be more efficient, as during a process of expanding or contracting this area, the user may be informed the underlying state of the set of pending notifications as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Selim Flavio Cinek, Justin R. Barber, Allyson E. Tong, Daniel Park, William Levi Frohn, Madeleine Denise Mellor

Patent number: 11385722Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for robust radar-based gesture-recognition. A radar system (104) detects radar-based gestures on behalf of application subscribers. A state machine (2000) transitions between multiple states based on inertial sensor data. A no-gating state (2002) enables the radar system (104) to output radar-based gestures to application subscribers. The state machine (2000) also includes a soft-gating state (2004) that prevents the radar system (104) from outputting the radar-based gestures to the application subscribers. A hard-gating state (2006) prevents the radar system (104) from detecting radar-based gestures altogether. The techniques and systems enable the radar system (104) to determine when not to perform gesture-recognition, enabling user equipment (102) to automatically reconfigure the radar system (104) to meet user demand.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jung Ook Hong, Patrick M.

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

Patent number: 10938767Abstract: In general, techniques of this disclosure may enable a computing device to defer output of a reengagement type notification until the computing device determines that a user is likely to engage with the application or service that generated the notification, as opposed to ignoring or dismissing the notification and/or the application or service. In this way, by precisely controlling its output, the described techniques may enable a computing device to increase a likelihood that a reengagement notification will succeed in reengaging a user with the application or service associated with the notification.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Christopher Richard Wren, Allyson E.

Publication number: 20210029542Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for maintaining an authenticated state based radar data from a radar system, and in some cases, on sensor data from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The techniques and systems use radar data to determine, after an indication that the user has potentially disengaged with the user equipment, to determine whether or not the user is passively engaged with the user equipment. Responsive to determining that the user is passively engaged, the techniques and systems maintain the authenticated state. By maintaining this authenticated state, the techniques manage the user equipment's state to correspond to a user's engagement with the user equipment, which can save power and improve a user's experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Johan Prag, Tyler Reed Kugler, Artur Tsurkan, Leonardo Giusti, Alok Chandel, Lucas Dupin Moreira Costa, Selim Flavio Cinek, Vignesh Sachidanandam, Brandon Barbello
