Advanced Sensing Capabilities for Smart Speakers Enabled by Radar Sensors

White Paper Overview

Turning the volume up when you are not in the room, monitoring a heartbeat while standing next to a smart speaker – these and other innovative features in a device, such as presence detection and segmentation and its implementation are discussed in this whitepaper. Radar sensors detect even the smallest of movements such as breathing, heartbeat and other vital signs. 
With smart speakers becoming the central control hubs of smart houses and smart offices, presence detection enabled by a radar sensor allows OEMs to provide advanced, innovative features to differentiate their products in this highly competitive and rapidly growing market segment. In this white paper by Infineon, explore: 

• Definition and growth potential of smart speakers
• Giving smart speakers another fundamental aspect of human interaction
• Overcoming design drawbacks of radar sensors
• New radar-enabled features for smart speaker design
