1. A method implemented by a processor of an electronic device for adjusting sensitivity of an associated proximity sensor, the proximity sensor positioned to detect objects on a front side of the electronic device and the proximity sensor is positioned biased towards a longitudinal side of the electronic device, the electronic device having an orientation sensor for generating orientation data based on an orientation of the electronic device, the method comprising:
obtaining orientation data from the orientation sensor; based on the orientation data, determining whether the electronic device is at a first tilted orientation or a second tilted orientation, and wherein the first tilted orientation is associated with the proximity sensor being aligned with a first user head feature, and wherein the second tilted orientation is associated with the proximity sensor being aligned with a second user head feature, and wherein a first gap between the proximity sensor and the first user head feature is larger than a second gap between the proximity sensor and the second head feature; and adjusting the sensitivity of the proximity sensor based on whether the electronic device is at the first tilted orientation or the second tilted orientation, and wherein adjusting the sensitivity includes:
when the orientation of the electronic device is at the first tilted orientation associated with a first side of a user's head, increasing the sensitivity of the proximity sensor to accommodate the first gap between the proximity sensor and the first user head feature that is larger than the second gap between the proximity sensor and the second user head feature when the electronic device is held at a second side of the user's head; andwhen the orientation of the electronic device is at the second tilted orientation associated with the second side of the head, decreasing the sensitivity of the proximity sensor. |
