Abstract
A wireless communication device (200) and method (300) with ultrasonic detection, is described. In its simplest form, the method (300) includes: periodically transmitting (310) ultrasonic signals from a wireless communication device; sensing (320) a reflection of the ultrasonic signals: and if a threshold is met, adjusting (330) an operating mode of the wireless communication device. The method (300) can enhance a user's experience, by launching a desired application, when a certain threshold is met.
Claims20
A wireless communication method with ultrasonic detection, comprising:
- periodically transmitting ultrasonic signals from a wireless communication device;
- sensing a reflection of the ultrasonic signals;
- and
- if a threshold is met, adjusting an operating mode of the wireless communication device.
A wireless communication device with ultrasonic detection, comprising:
- a wireless communication device including an actuator configured to transmit ultrasonic signals and a sensor configured to receive reflected ultrasonic signals;
- a controller coupled to the wireless communication device, the controller configured to control the operations of the wireless communication device;
- and
- a management module connected to the actuator and sensor, configured such that when a threshold reflected ultrasonic signal is achieved, an operating mode of the wireless communication device is adjusted.
