Elliptic Labs has launched its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor? INNER BEAUTY® on vivo's V40 smartphone. The vivo V40 smartphone has been announced for the global market.

This device is powered by Elliptic Labs' partners Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Elliptic Labs previously announced this contract. Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY 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. INNER BEAUTY is a registered trademark of Elliptic Labs.
