Abstract
A device is provided that includes an ambient light level sensor, a proximity sensing system, and a processor. The ambient light level sensor generates a signal as a function of an ambient light level at the device. The proximity sensing system comprises an emitter component. The processor is configured to receive the signal from the ambient light level sensor and to adjust an electrical current through the emitter component based on the signal.
