Abstract:
A capacitive proximity detector for use in a connected portable device such as a telephone, laptop or tablet, in which the capacity seen by the sensor electrode is compared with four thresholds: a proximity threshold, set lower than the other, to generate a general proximity flag, and a body detection threshold set higher than the other arranged to generate a body detection flag that indicates that the object in proximity is a part of a human body. Two object detection thresholds in the region between the proximity threshold and the body threshold define a region in which the detector can decide whether the object in proximity is an inanimate object, based on the time variation of the capacity.

Claim (Index 6):
The proximity detector of  claim 1 , arranged to raise: an object detection flag when the when the time capacity seen by the sensor electrode is between the lower object threshold and the upper object threshold, and the variation of the capacity exceeds the determined the maximum level of variation; a body proximity flag that sets the power of the RF transmitter to the reduced value when the capacity is above a determined body detection threshold, higher than said upper object threshold detection level; a proximity flag when the capacity is above a determined proximity threshold lower than said lower object threshold, and to set the RF power to the reduced level when either the proximity flag is raised and the object detection flag is not raised, or the body detection flag is raised.
