摘要
Techniques for adjusting operation of an electronic device are described. In an example, while the electronic device is operating in a first operating mode according to a first parameter, a set of signals indicating an object in a room, and based on received reflected radar signals, are transmitted by a radar transceiver of the electronic device to one or more processors of the electronic device. By analyzing the set of signals to identify the object as a person, the one or more processors determine that the room is occupied. In accordance with determining that the room is occupied by the person, the electronic device is adjusted to operate in a second operating mode according to a second parameter suitable for sensing objects at a closer distance than the first parameter.
