Abstract
A mobile computing device includes one or more processors, an emissive display that includes a touchscreen, and a proximity sensor that generates a quantitative output signal. The one or more processors transition, in response to the quantitative output signal decreasing below a low threshold value, operation of the sensor to a high sensitivity state; transition, in response to the quantitative output signal increasing above a high threshold value, operation of the sensor to the low sensitivity state; and deactivate the touchscreen and/or the emissive display when the touchscreen and/or the emissive display is activated and when the quantitative output signal increases above an high threshold value and to activate the touchscreen and/or the emissive display when the touchscreen and/or the emissive display is deactivated and when the quantitative output signal is below a low threshold value, the low threshold value being less than the high threshold value.
