Elliptic Labs, a global AI software company known for its groundbreaking AI Virtual Smart Sensors, has launched its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY on the new HONOR 100 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. This exciting development comes as Elliptic Labs continues to solidify its position as a leader in AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor fusion technologies.
Elliptic labs’ AI virtual proximity sensor enhances HONOR 100 series smartphones
The AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY® developed by Elliptic Labs is a remarkable addition to the HONOR 100 series of smartphones. This innovative sensor is designed to detect when a user holds their phone up to their ear during a call, allowing the smartphone to intelligently turn off its display and disable its screen’s touch functionality. This feature prevents accidental actions triggered by the user’s ear or cheek during a call, such as hanging up or dialing numbers, while also contributing to extended battery life.
Software-driven proximity detection
What sets Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Proximity Sensor apart is its software-only approach, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware sensors. Traditional smartphones rely on hardware components for proximity detection, which can add to the cost and introduce sourcing risks. In contrast, Elliptic Labs’ software-driven solution not only reduces device manufacturing costs but also ensures robust proximity detection without compromising performance.
HONOR Chooses Elliptic Labs’ Technology
The HONOR 100 series, which includes the HONOR 100 and HONOR 100 Pro, is powered by Qualcomm’s latest processors. The HONOR 100 is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, while the HONOR 100 Pro features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform has been chosen for these smartphones, reflecting the company’s technological leadership in AI, ultrasound, and sensor fusion.
Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, expressed the significance of this collaboration, stating, “By adopting the AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform, HONOR is able to introduce smartphones with great value, such as the HONOR 100 and 100 Pro, to their broad customer base. Our commitment to delivering both value and innovation plays a crucial role in enabling our customers to offer products that are greener, smarter, and more human-friendly.”
