Patent number: 11869974Abstract: An operation method and an electronic device are provided. A phone call is established while a display of the electronic device is activated. A proximity sensor of the electronic device is turned on. A supply of power to the proximity sensor is controlled to emit light through a plurality of pixels in a portion of the display corresponding to a position of the proximity sensor and the light emitted by the proximity sensor and reflected by an object is received to identify a distance between the electronic device and the object, if the plurality of the pixels in the position corresponding to the proximity sensor are deactivated during the phone call. The supply of power to the proximity sensor is blocked if the plurality of pixels in the portion of the display corresponding to the proximity sensor are activated during the phone call.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Inventors: Seunggoo Kang, Jung-Hoon Park, Bokyung Sim, Jeong Gyu Jo, Dong-Il Son

Patent number: 10707351Abstract: An operation method and an electronic device are provided. A proximity detection mode is activated in response to deactivating the display during an execution of a call application. In response to activating the proximity detection mode, a proximity distance of an object is identified based on outputting the light through the light emitting unit and receiving the light through the light receiving unit. If the identified proximity distance is larger than a pre-defined proximity recognition distance, the proximity detection mode is deactivated and the display is activated.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seunggoo Kang, Jung-Hoon Park, Bokyung Sim, Jeong Gyu Jo, Dong-Il Son
