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, is announcing the deployment of its AI
Virtual Proximity Sensor™ INNER BEAUTY® on vivo’s latest
smartphone, the entry-level vivo Y200. The vivo Y200 will be
available for the Chinese market and is powered by Elliptic Labs’
partner Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. Elliptic Labs
previously announced this contract.
“Elliptic Labs is excited to announce the launch of our AI
Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ in vivo's Y200, making it the 9th
smartphone from vivo to use our technology,” said Laila Danielsen,
CEO of Elliptic Labs. “This milestone showcases vivo’s continued
and strengthening demand for our AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER
BEAUTY. Our expertise in AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor-fusion
technologies drives these relationships with the largest smartphone
OEMs, positioning Elliptic Labs as the go-to AI software provider
to make their products greener, smarter, and more
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.
