As such, + proximity sensors should not be relied on as a means to measure + distance: the only thing that can be deduced from a proximity sensor is + that an object is somewhere in the distance between the minimum sensing + distance and the maximum sensing distance with some degree of + certainty. + </p> + </section> + + <section id="conformance"> + <p> + This specification defines conformance criteria that apply to a single + product: the <dfn>user agent</dfn> that implements the + interfaces that it contains. + </p> + <p> + Implementations that use ECMAScript to implement the APIs + defined in this specification must implement them in a manner + consistent with the ECMAScript Bindings defined in the Web IDL + specification [[!WEBIDL]], as this specification uses that + specification and terminology. + </p> + </section> + + <section> + <h2>Terminology</h2> + <p> + The <code><a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/webappapis.html#eventhandler"> + EventHandler</a></code> interface represents a callback used for event + handlers as defined in [[!HTML5]]. + </p> + <p> + The concepts <dfn><a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/webappapis.html#queue-a-task"> + queue a task</a></dfn>, + <dfn><a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/webappapis.html#fire-a-simple-event"> + fires a simple event</a></dfn>, and <dfn> + <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/browsers.html#top-level-browsing-context"> + top-level browsing context</a></dfn> are defined in [[!HTML5]]. + </p> + <p> + Event constructor behavior is defined in + <dfn><a href="http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#constructing-events"> + constructing events</a></dfn> chapter in [[!DOM4]]. + </p> + <p> + The terms <dfn><a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/webappapis.html#event-handlers"> + event handlers</a></dfn> and + <dfn><a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/webappapis.html#event-handler-event-type"> + event handler event types</a></dfn> are defined in [[!HTML5]]. + </p> + <p> + The concepts <dfn> + <a href="http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#constructing-events"> + create an event</a></dfn> and <dfn> + <a href="http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#firing-events"> + fire an event</a></dfn> are defined in [[!DOM4]]. + </p> + <p> + The <dfn>current device proximity</dfn> is a value that represents the + proximity of the hosting device to a physical object (i.e., some value + between the <a>maximum sensing distance</a> and the <a>minimum sensing + distance</a>), in centimeters. + </p> + <p> + The <dfn>minimum sensing distance</dfn> at which the sensor can detect + a physical object, in centimeters. + </p> + <p> + The <dfn>maximum sensing distance</dfn> at which the sensor can detect + a physical object, in centimeters. + </p> + <p> + The <dfn>current user proximity state</dfn>, a boolean state, is a + user-agent- and platform-specific approximation of the closeness of a + physical object with the hosting device. + </p> + </section> + + <section class="informative"> + <h2>Security and privacy considerations</h2> + <p> + Privacy risks can arise when this specification is used in + combination with other functionality or when used over time, + specifically with the risk of correlation of data and user + identification through fingerprinting.
