Abstract
An electronic device includes proximity sensor, a memory and a processor. The proximity sensor is positioned within an enclosure of the electronic proximate to one or more air vents. The proximity sensor generates a sensing signal to detect blockage of the one or more air vents. Based on a response to the sensing signal, the proximity sensor generates an output signal indicating that one or more air vents is blocked. The processor is configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in memory to receive the output signal from the proximity sensor indicating blockage of the one or more air vents is detected, and, in response to receiving the output signal from the proximity sensor indicating blockage of the one or more air vents is detected, forward, to one of a network device, a user device, and a service provider, a notification of the blockage of the one or more air vents.
