Abstract
An input interface controlling method includes: transmitting a transmitting wave toward an identification space by a radar unit; receiving a reflected wave by the radar unit and obtaining a radar point cloud; capturing a captured image of the identification space by a camera unit; and identifying a target point from the radar point cloud and the captured image, and a target position of the target point being used as an input interface.
Claims18
An input interface controlling method, comprising:
- transmitting a transmitting wave toward an identification space by a radar unit;
- receiving a reflected wave by the radar unit and obtaining a radar point cloud;
- capturing a captured image of the identification space by a camera unit after obtaining the radar point cloud;
- and
- identifying a target point from the radar point cloud and the captured image, wherein a target position of the target point is used as an input interface;
- wherein the radar unit comprises at least one transmitting antenna and at least three receiving antennas, the at least one transmitting antenna is configured to transmit the transmitting wave, the at least three receiving antennas are configured to receive the reflected wave, the at least one transmitting antenna and the at least three receiving antennas are arranged on an antenna plane, a normal direction of the antenna plane is parallel to a first direction, two of the at least three receiving antennas are arranged and aligned along a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
