In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states a fundamental limit to the accuracy in the measurement of pairs of conjugate variables, such as position and momentum. Based on a semiclassical geometric approach, it has been recently proposed a generalization of the uncertainty principle under the relativistic case, which could be extended to General Relativity. This formalism was applied to the Schwarzschild and de Sitter spacetime, showing that the uncertainty relations obtained can be mapped into deformations of Generalized Heisenberg principles well-known in the literature and obtained from the different models of quantum gravity proposed. In the present study, the generalized Heisenberg Principle is derived from the commutator relation, and has been applied to the classical gravitational tests and the derived consequences are framed and analyzed.
