127 CONTROLLING A DEVICE BY TRACKING THE MOVEMENT OF A FINGER US15834417 2017-12-07 US20180164874A1 2018-06-14 Lili Qiu; Sangki Yun
A method, system and computer program product for controlling a device (e.g., smartphone) by tracking a movement of a target (e.g., finger). A channel impulse response which characterizes signal traversal paths with different delays is estimated. Channel tap(s) corresponding to the target are then selected. The phase change of the selected channel taps is tracked based on the estimated channel impulse response to estimate a distance change of the target from the device. An estimate of an absolute distance between the device and the target is estimated based on the estimated channel impulse response. A more accurate absolute distance between the device and the target is calculated by combining the estimated absolute distance and the estimated distance change. The position of the target is then tracked based on a distance to different landmarks (e.g., microphones) on the device using the more accurate absolute distance and the estimated distance change.
