Title: Ultrasonic detection of user presence
Inventor: PONCE MADRIGAL OCTAVIO
IPC: G01S7/527
Filed: 2020-12-23
Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement an ultrasonic sensor capable of detecting user presence. This ultrasonic sensor can detect user presence without relying on time-of-flight techniques. In particular, the ultrasonic sensor can determine that a user is present based on the occlusion of at least one receiving transducer (e.g., microphone occlusion), the occlusion of at least one transmitting transducer (e.g., speaker occlusion), or a detected change in an audible noise floor of at least one transducer. In this way, the ultrasonic sensor can continue to detect user presence in situations in which a user occludes one or more transducers of the ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor can also control operation of another component within a computing device based on the presence of the user to improve the user experience and/or improve power management.
