Abstract A mobile device may determine a material-type of a surface proximate to the device and/or a distance between the device and the proximate surface, in at least one implementation. In some implementations, proximate material-type information may be used to estimate a distance between a mobile device and a proximate surface. A material class may also be determined for a proximate surface in some implementations. Various context-based applications are disclosed for material-type, material class, and/or distance information in connection with a mobile device. L'invention porte sur un dispositif mobile qui peut déterminer un type de matériau d'une surface proche du dispositif et/ou une distance entre le dispositif et la surface proche, dans au moins une mise en oeuvre. Dans certains modes de réalisation, des informations sur le type de matériau proche peuvent être utilisées pour estimer une distance entre un dispositif mobile et une surface proche. Une classe de matériau peut également être déterminée pour une surface proche dans certaines mises en oeuvre. Différentes applications fondées sur le contexte sont décrites pour des informations concernant le type de matériau, la classe de matériau et/ou la distance en relation avec un dispositif mobile.
