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.
