Abstract:
An electronic device may include control circuitry, sensors, and wireless circuitry having antennas. The sensors may generate sensor data that is used by the control circuitry to identify an operating environment for the device. The sensor data may include a grip map generated by a touch-sensitive display, infrared facial recognition image signals or other image signals, an angle of arrival of sound received by a set of microphones, impedance data from an impedance sensor, and any other desired sensor data. The control circuitry may use the sensor data, radio-frequency spatial ranging data, information about whether audio is being played over an ear speaker, and/or information about communications protocols in use to identify the operating environment. The control circuitry may adjust antenna settings for the wireless circuitry based on the identified operating environment to ensure that the antennas operate with satisfactory antenna efficiency regardless of operating conditions.

Claim (Index 1):
An electronic device having opposing first and second faces, comprising:\n a housing; a touch-sensitive display at the first face; a light source at the first face and configured to emit infrared light; an image sensor at the first face and configured to receive a reflected version of the infrared light emitted by the light source; a plurality of microphones in the housing that are configured to receive sound and to generate audio signals in response to the sound; wireless communications circuitry configured to convey radio-frequency signals over a plurality of antennas using antenna settings; and control circuitry configured to adjust the antenna settings based on sensor data, wherein the sensor data comprises data selected from the group consisting of:\n a grip map generated by the touch-sensitive display, \n an angle of arrival of the sound received by the plurality of microphones, and \n image signals generated by the image sensor in response to the reflected version of the infrared light emitted by the light source.
