Radar-Based System for Sensing Touch and In-the-Air Interactions

In one embodiment, a method includes processing user interactions with an electronic device based on different processing modules. The electronic device includes one or more radar-based transmitters and receivers. The method transmits radio waves into an area in the vicinity of the electronic device from the transmitters and receives at the receivers the radio waves reflected off one or more objects in the vicinity of the electronic device. The method selects either trilateration processing or imaging process to process the received radio waves based on different requirements for processing user interactions.
