US Patent 11435468 Radar-based gesture enhancement for voice interfaces

This document describes techniques and systems that enable radar-based gesture enhancement for voice interfaces. The techniques and systems use a radar field to accurately determine three-dimensional (3D) gestures that can be used instead of, or in combination with, a voice interface to enhance interactions with voice-controllable electronic devices. These techniques allow the user to make 3D gestures from a distance to provide a voice input trigger (e.g., a “listen” gesture), interrupt and correct inaccurate actions by the voice interface, and make natural and precise adjustments to functions controlled by voice commands.
