Abstract
A device (100) and method (300) for enhancing range detection accuracy in ultrasonic touchless sensing applications can include transmitting (302) an ultrasonic signal intended to reflect off a finger and produce an echo, receiving (304) the echo, saving (306) most recent echoes to a history (400), selectively discarding (308) echoes less recently saved in the history to produce a sparse history, identifying (310) a relative phase of the echo with respect to a previously received echo in the sparse history, tracking (312) a location and a movement of the finger from an arrival time of the echo and the relative phase, and providing (314) touchless control to a user interface control in accordance with the location and the movement of the finger.
