Method and apparatus for detecting, managing antenna proximity, and user privacy by sharing radar sensing telemetry

A method implemented at an information handling system comprising:

• with a wireless interface adapter, establishing a wireless connection via a plurality of transceiving antennas operated by one or more radio frequency (RF) subsystems with a wireless network;
• with a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC radar):
• scanning for human presence around the information handlings system;
• scanning for human proximity near any of the plurality of transceiving antennas;
• mapping human presence and proximity of humans to create tagged telemetry data descriptive of the distance of human proximity and movement relative to the plurality of transceiving antennas;
• with an antenna controller, receiving, via a sideband communication executed by the wireless interface adapter, the tagged telemetry data and executing instructions of an antenna proximity event algorithm using the tagged telemetry data as input to determine specific absorption rate (SAR) proximity of a human to at least one antenna of the plurality of transceiving antennas;
• and
• with an operating system, executing instructions a privacy detect event module to protect user data privacy and secure the information handling system with the tagged telemetry data of the MMIC radar.

An information handling system including a privacy and presence sensing system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• a power management unit (PMU);
• a wireless interface adapter for communicating, via a plurality of transceiving antennas operated by one or more radio frequency (RF) subsystems on a plurality of operating wireless links;
• a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC radar) to:
• scan for human presence around the information handling system;
• scan for human proximity near any of the plurality of transceiving antennas;
• and
• scan for a gesture from a human;
• the processor to map human presence and proximity of humans with tagged telemetry data descriptive of the distance of human proximity and movement relative to the plurality of transceiving antennas and information handling system;
• an antenna controller to receive, via a sideband communication executed by the wireless interface adapter, the tagged telemetry data and execute an antenna proximity event algorithm using the tagged telemetry data as input to determine human proximity within a threshold distance of at least one antenna of the plurality of transceiving antennas;
• and
• an operating system to execute a machine learning gesture detect algorithm to use the tagged telemetry data of the MMIC radar to identify a gesture from a user in front of the information handling system.
