Published a year ago via Business Wire

Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global AI software company and the world leader in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™ currently deployed in over 500 million devices, has launched its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor™ INNER BEAUTY® with Transsion, the fifth largest smartphone maker globally, on the new Tecno Spark 20 Pro+ smartphone. The Tecno Spark 20 Pro+ smartphone, released for the global market, is driven by MediaTek’s Helio G99 Ultimate chipset developed by Elliptic Labs’ partner MediaTek. The contract for this launch was previously announced by Elliptic Labs.

“Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ has proven its value, resulting in Transsion's introduction of the AI Virtual Proximity Sensor in their latest smartphone, the Tecno Spark 20 Pro+,” said Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. “We take pride in our partnership with Transsion, which has yielded numerous innovative smartphone designs. Transsion remains committed to harnessing Elliptic Labs' expertise in AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor fusion technologies. We look forward to a robust and collaborative future, working with major OEMs like Transsion to create devices that are greener, smarter, and human-friendly.”

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.
