Abstract
The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for power-efficient processing of neuromuscular signals. In one aspect, a method includes: (i) obtaining a first set of neuromuscular signals; (ii) after determining, using a low-power detector, that the first set of neuromuscular signals require further processing to confirm that a predetermined in-air hand gesture has been performed: (a) processing the first set of neuromuscular signals using a high-power detector; and (b) in accordance with a determination that the processing indicates that the predetermined in-air hand gesture did occur, registering an occurrence of the predetermined in-air hand gesture; (iii) receiving a second set of neuromuscular signals; and (iv) after determining, using the low-power detector and not using the high-power detector, that a different predetermined in-air hand gesture was performed, performing an action in response to the different predetermined in-air hand gesture.
