Elliptic Labs is announcing a new license contract with an existing global top-5 smartphone customer. This contract encompasses the usage of Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY for several future smartphone deployments. AI Virtual Proximity sensor INNER BEAUTY.

Elliptic Labs' AIVirtual Proximity Sensor detects when a user holds their phone up to their ear during a call, allowing the smartphone to turn off its display and disable its screen's touch functionality. This keeps the user's ear or cheek from triggering unwanted actions during the call, such as hanging up or dialing numbers. Turning off the screen also helps conserve battery life.

Proximity detection is a core capability that is used in all smartphones, but Elliptic Labs' AI virtual Proximity Sensor is a unique, software-only solution that delivers robust proximity detection without the need for a dedicated hardware sensor. By replacing hardware sensors with software sensors, the AI Virtual Proximity Sensor reduces device cost and eliminates sourcing risk.
