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 announced the shipping of its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor™ INNER BEAUTY® on vivo’s S19 and S19 Pro smartphones. The vivo S19 series, targeted for the Chinese market, are powered by Elliptic Labs’ partners Qualcomm and MediaTek. The vivo S19 is running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset while the vivo S19 Pro is driven by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200+ chipset. Elliptic Labs previously announced this contract.

“Elliptic Labs has now shipped our AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY on 12 smartphones with vivo after this launch of the S19 and S19 Pro designs,” said Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. “Our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ represents the industry’s leading innovations in AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor-fusion technologies. We continue to grow our relationship with vivo and ship more solid smartphones to the global market. This demonstrates that the leading smartphone makers choose Elliptic Labs to make their devices greener, smarter, and more user-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.
