1. An apparatus comprising:
- one or more radio transmitters configured to transmit radio signals that are at least partially reflected by a human body;
one or more radio receivers configured to receive the transmitted radio signals after having been at least partially reflected by a human body of a user;
a gesture detector configured to detect a predetermined time-varying modulation that is present in the received radio signals compared to the transmitted radio signals; and
a controller configured to interpret the predetermined time-varying modulation as a predetermined user input command and change the operation of the apparatus.

Abstract
An apparatus including: a radio transmitter configured to transmit radio signals that are at least partially reflected by a human body; one or more radio receivers configured to receive the transmitted radio signals after having been at least partially reflected by a human body of a user; a gesture detector configured to detect a predetermined time-varying modulation that is present in the received radio signals compared to the transmitted radio signals; and a controller configured to interpret the predetermined time-varying modulation as a predetermined user input command and change the operation of the apparatus.

18. A gesture recognition engine for a gesture controlled user interface comprising:
-
a radio receiver for receiving radio signals after having been at least partially reflected by a human body gesture; a gesture detector configured to detect a predetermined time-varying modulation that is present in the received radio signals compared to a radio signals before reflection; an interface for providing the detected predetermined time-varying modulation as an output. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A method comprising:
-
transmitting radio signals that are at least partially reflected by a human hand; receiving the transmitted radio signals after having been at least partially reflected by a gesturing human hand; detecting a predetermined time-varying modulation, characterizing the gesture, that is present in the received radio signals compared to the transmitted radio signals; and changing the operation of an apparatus in dependence upon the predetermined time-varying modulation. - View Dependent Claims (21)
