Elliptic Labs Partners With Maxim on Smart Device Security

Elliptic Labs certified the operation of its AI Virtual Smart Sensor platform with Maxim Integrated Products’ MAX98396 smart audio amplifier, the companies said Tuesday. The firms are targeting smart TVs, smart speakers and laptops to provide security through automated screen locking, presence detection and 3D touchless gesture sensing on Maxim Integrated’s audio amplifier technology. Elliptic Labs’ platform uses a device’s existing mic and speaker to generate and translate ultrasound tones into virtual sensors for presence and touchless gesture detection, it said.
