It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.
User equipment (UE) such as smartphones are becoming a standard part of daily life for many people and often are equipped with large touchscreens. Users interact with the devices using some form of touch action, many of which involve attention to precise touch points on the screen. Sometimes, a user may wish to interact with a UE but has a dirty hand, a wet hand, a gloved hand, or an otherwise occupied hand, which can result in inaccuracy in touch input (e.g., due to ghost touches and/or unrecognized touches) or no touch input at all. Although voice input can mitigate some of these issues, voice commands may not be preferred for small tasks with high repeatability, like skipping tracks, rejecting/accepting calls, and/or changing device modes, among other examples. For example, voice commands can be lengthy and often require an explicit activation message as well.
Some implementations described herein enable the use of vibrations as user input to a UE. A vibration may refer to an oscillation through a solid medium and/or a sound. UEs may be equipped with vibration sensors such as, for example, motion sensors (e.g., high precision gyroscopes, accelerometers, and/or inertial measurement units (IMUs)) and/or sound sensors (e.g., microphones), among other examples. In some implementations, mapped regions around the UE may correspond to respective vibration sensors implemented in a UE. The mapped regions may include spatial areas or spatial volumes adjacent to the UE. The vibration sensors may be used to detect vibrations originating from, or otherwise associated with, the respective mapped regions. Vibration measurements corresponding to input locations of the mapped regions may be used to trigger control information that may be configured to cause the UE to perform an operation in response to a vibration measurement.
For example, in some implementations, a vibration sensor may be used to obtain vibration measurements from which the UE can detect a vibration and determine location information associated with the vibration measurements. Location information may include a distance between a vibration source and the vibration sensor, and/or a position of the vibration source relative to the vibration sensor and/or another vibration source. The vibration measurements may include one or more vibration characteristics such as, for example, a type of a vibration, a quantity of vibrations, a frequency of a vibration, and/or an amplitude of a vibration, among other examples. A vibration input component of the UE may process the vibration measurements and output control information based on the vibration measurements and/or location information. The control information may convert the detected vibrations into a user input such as a selection of a selectable item displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI), a keystroke associated with a keyboard input, movement of a cursor on the GUI, activation of an application or other function such as, for example, accepting or rejecting a phone call, unlocking a lock screen on the UE, switching from one application to another, skipping a music track, and/or adjusting a volume, among other examples.
In this way, aspects disclosed herein may facilitate using vibration as user input to a UE, thereby enabling hands-free user input that may facilitate use of the UE during situations in which a user may otherwise be unable to provide user input (or in which providing user input may be cumbersome). As a result, some aspects may facilitate increased accessibility for UEs to users, having a positive impact on device performance and user experience.
Although some examples are described herein in connection with one or more UEs being used in a cellular-based wireless communication environment, the one or more UEs may similarly be utilized and/or designed for other types of example environments (e.g., wifi environments, short range communication environments (e.g., Bluetooth® environments), roadway vehicle environments, marine environments, and/or aerospace environments, among other examples).
The network 125 may be one or more wired networks, one or more wireless networks, or a combination thereof. A wireless network may be or may include elements of a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G (New Radio (NR)) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, and/or a 6G network, among other examples.
A network node (e.g., the network node 120) may be a base station (a Node B, a gNB, and/or a 5G node B (NB), among other examples), a UE, a relay device, a network controller, an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components of any of these, and/or another processing entity configured to perform one or more aspects of the techniques described herein. For example, the network node 120 may be an aggregated base station and/or one or more components of a disaggregated base station.
The UE 105 may be stationary or mobile. The UE 105 may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, or the like. The UE 105 may be, include, or be included in a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, an extended reality device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, a radar device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.
Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, and/or the like, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IOT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IOT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The UE 105 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE 105, such as processor components, memory components, and/or the like. In some aspects, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, electrically coupled, or the like.
As shown, the UE 105 may include a vibration sensor 130 and a vibration sensor 135. In some aspects, the UE 105 may include any number of additional vibration sensors. The vibration sensor 130 and/or 135 may include a sound sensor and/or a motion sensor. A sound sensor (e.g., a microphone) may be configured to detect sound waves (e.g., propagating vibrations), and a motion sensor (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope, IMU) may be configured to detect vibrations in a solid media. The vibration sensors 130 and 135 may be coupled to a vibration input component 140.
The vibration input component 140 may include the vibration sensors 130 and 135 and/or the vibration sensors 130 and 135 may include the vibration input component. In some aspects, for example, the vibration input component 140 may be hardware, software, and/or a combination thereof, configured to receive vibration measurements from the vibration sensors 130 and 135 and to process the received vibration measurements. For example, the vibration input component 140 may be configured to determine location information associated with a vibration measurement and may generate control information based on the location information. The control information may be provided, for example, to an application 145 (shown as “app”), which may use the control information as user input to control a function of the UE 105. For example, in some aspects, the application 145 may cause the UE 105 to perform an action associated with a GUI 150 based on the control information.
In some aspects, the control information may be based on a location of a vibration source 110 or 115 in association with a mapped region 155 adjacent to the UE 105. In some aspects, the vibration source 110 and/or 115 may be associated with a user. For example, the vibration source may be an interaction, by the user, with an aspect of a physical environment surrounding the UE 105. For example, the vibration source 110 and/or 115 may be a tap, by a user's finger, on a medium (e.g., a table or a counter) on which the UE 105 is placed and/or a sound made by a user's finger or voice, among other examples.
In some aspects, the mapped region 155 may include a spatial area adjacent to the UE 105 and/or a spatial volume adjacent to the UE 105. In some aspects, the mapped region 155 may be adjacent to a portion of the UE 105 (as depicted in
As shown, the mapped region 155 may include a set of partitions 160 and 165. The partitions 160 and 165 may be configured in accordance with any number of different shapes and/or sizes. The mapped region 155 may include any number of partitions 160 and 165. In some aspects, the partitions 160 and 165 may be of equal shapes and sizes and, in some other aspects, one or more partitions 160 or 165 may have a different shape and/or size from another partition 160 or 165. Each partition 160 and 165 may correspond to a respective vibration sensor 130 or 135. As shown, for example, the partition 160 may correspond to the vibration sensor 130 and the partition 165 may correspond to the vibration sensor 135. In some aspects, each partition 160 and 165 may correspond to at least one user input. In some aspects, a combination of partitions may correspond to a user input. In some aspects, the partition 160 may include an input location 170, and the partition 165 may include an input location 175. The input location 170 may be a location of the vibration source 110 and the input location 175 may be a location of the vibration source 115. In some aspects, the input location 170 may correspond to a first user input and the input location 175 may correspond to a second user input.
In some aspects, the vibration input component 140 may be configured to enable vibration sensing based on determining an occurrence of a trigger condition. For example, in some aspects, determining the occurrence of the trigger condition may include determining an occurrence of a vibration having one or more defined characteristics. In some aspects, determining the occurrence of the trigger condition may include determining a position of the UE 105 (e.g., determining that the UE 105 is laying on a solid surface and/or positioned on a mount), determining a state of the UE 105 (e.g., a locked state, an activated state, etc.), and/or determining that an application configured to receive vibration-based user input is activated.

As used herein, the term “component” is intended to be broadly construed as hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. “Software” shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, and/or functions, among other examples, whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise. As used herein, a “processor” is implemented in hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. It will be apparent that systems and/or methods described herein may be implemented in different forms of hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. The actual specialized control hardware or software code used to implement these systems and/or methods is not limiting of the aspects. Thus, the operation and behavior of the systems and/or methods are described herein without reference to specific software code, since those skilled in the art will understand that software and hardware can be designed to implement the systems and/or methods based, at least in part, on the description herein.
As used herein, “satisfying a threshold” may, depending on the context, refer to a value being greater than the threshold, greater than or equal to the threshold, less than the threshold, less than or equal to the threshold, equal to the threshold, not equal to the threshold, or the like.
Even though particular combinations of features are recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification, these combinations are not intended to limit the disclosure of various aspects. Many of these features may be combined in ways not specifically recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification. The disclosure of various aspects includes each dependent claim in combination with every other claim in the claim set. As used herein, a phrase referring to “at least one of” a list of items refers to any combination of those items, including single members. As an example, “at least one of: a, b, or c” is intended to cover a, b, c, a+b, a+c, b+c, and a+b+c, as well as any combination with multiples of the same element (e.g., a+a, a+a+a, a+a+b, a+a+c, a+b+b, a+c+c, b+b, b+b+b, b+b+c, c+c, and c+c+c, or any other ordering of a, b, and c).
No element, act, or instruction used herein should be construed as critical or essential unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the articles “a” and “an” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Further, as used herein, the article “the” is intended to include one or more items referenced in connection with the article “the” and may be used interchangeably with “the one or more.” Furthermore, as used herein, the terms “set” and “group” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Where only one item is intended, the phrase “only one” or similar language is used. Also, as used herein, the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms that do not limit an element that they modify (e.g., an element “having” A may also have B). Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term “or” is intended to be inclusive when used in a series and may be used interchangeably with “and/or,” unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g., if used in combination with “either” or “only one of”).
