Abstract:
A method includes generating a call alert notification on a device responsive to receiving an incoming call. A removal of the device from a stowed position is detected after generating the call alert notification. The incoming call is answered responsive to thermally detecting a proximity between the device and the user within a predetermined time period after detecting the removal of the device from the stowed position.
