“The HONOR Play 9T Pro is a great entry level smartphone offering tremendous value, demonstrating how AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ covers our customers complete product line, from low end to flagship,” stated Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. “Global OEMs continue to choose Elliptic Labs to not only drive critical features like proximity detection but forward-looking innovations like contextual intelligence.

AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY
Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual 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.
