Abstract:
An electronic device ( 202 ) includes an ultrasonic proximity sensor arrangement comprising an ultrasonic transmitter ( 4 ) and an ultrasonic receiver ( 6 ) recessed from a front surface ( 208 ) of the device. A barrier ( 218 ) extends between the transmitter and receiver in the direction of the front surface of the device. The ultrasonic proximity sensor arrangement is arranged to determine proximity of an object ( 16 ) to said front surface based on a signal ( 214 ) received by the ultrasonic receiver, wherein the received signal is a reflection from said object of a signal transmitted from the ultrasonic transmitter.

Claim (Index 18):
An electronic device having a front surface and including an ultrasonic proximity sensor arrangement comprising:\n an ultrasonic transmitter recessed from the front surface; an ultrasonic receiver recessed from the front surface; the ultrasonic proximity sensor arrangement being arranged to determine proximity of an object to said front surface based on a signal received by the ultrasonic receiver, wherein the received signal is a reflection from said object of a signal transmitted from the ultrasonic transmitter; the ultrasonic proximity sensor arrangement further comprising a structure disposed in front of the receiver defining at least first and second discrete signal paths having different path lengths such that signals travelling from the transmitter without passing the front surface to the receiver via the first and second paths undergo a destructive interference which is greater than a destructive interference undergone by signals travelling from the transmitter to the receiver after reflection from the object.
