SW_PROXIMITY is admittedly pretty vague, but I don't quite know how
specific you'd like it to be. The main idea is to indicate that the
device is covered, for example because it's in your pocket or near your
ear, so the UI should probably adapt to the situation (for example
disable touchscreen and display on some devices). Someone might also use
it as a "button" you don't have to touch.

How about one of these?

SW_FRONT_COVERED
SW_FRONT_PROXIMITY
SW_DISPLAY_COVERED
SW_DISPLAY_PROXIMITY
SW_EARPIECE_MODE (too specific IMHO)


BR,
Jani.
