example 1

[0147] Example 1: An electronic device comprising:

[0148] monitor;

[0149] A radar system at least partially implemented in hardware configured to:

[0150] provide a radar field;

[0151] sensing reflections from users in the radar field;

[0152] analyzing the reflections from the user in the radar field; and

[0153] providing radar data based on the analysis of the reflection;

[0154] one or more computer processors; and

[0155] One or more computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that implement a radar-based input mode in response to execution by the one or more computer processors an availability manager, the radar-based input mode availability manager configured to:

[0156] determining that an application operating on the electronic device is capable of receiving radar gesture input;

[0157] determining that the user is within a threshold distance of the electronic device; and

[0158] In response to determining that the application oper...

example 2

[0159] Example 2. The electronic device of example 1, wherein the input mode notification is a visual element that appears at an edge of an active area of ​​the display.

example 3

[0160] Example 3. The electronic device of examples 1 or 2, wherein the input mode notification is a visual element that appears at an edge of the active area of ​​the display, the visual element comprising an edge of the active area of ​​the display section, which has:

[0161] a visual property, in particular at least one of luminosity, color, contrast, shape, saturation, blur or opacity that differs from the visual property of another portion of the display close to the visual element; and

[0162] A side adjacent to the edge of the active area of ​​the display.

Abstract

This document describes techniques and systems that enable an input-mode notification for a multi-input mode. A radar field (110) enables an electronic device (102) to accurately determine the presence or absence of a user near the electronic device. Further, the electronic device can determine whether an application that can receive input through radar-based gestures is operating on the electronic device. Using these techniques, the electronic device can present an input-mode notification (118) on a display (114) of the electronic device when the user is near to alert the user that radar gesture input is available for interacting with the electronic device. This allows the device to provide the user with feedback that can educate the user about what the electronic device is capable of, and allows the user to take advantage of the additional functionality and features provided by the availability of the radar gestures.

Description

Background technique [0001] Both business and personal use often rely on electronic devices. Users communicate with them via voice and touch, and use them as virtual assistants to schedule meetings and events, consume digital media, and share presentations and documents. An important part of effective communication is feedback so users know a message has been received. Many conventional electronic devices provide audio or physical feedback, such as beeps or vibrations, when a user makes a touch input or speaks a voice command. This feedback gives the user confidence that the user input has been received, or warns the user that the input was unsuccessful. Additionally, some electronic devices provide indicia to tell the user how to input, such as a keypad or microphone icon to let the user know how to access touch or voice input modes. [0002] With the help of machine learning techniques, electronic devices can become familiar with a user's routines and preferences, and can...
