With quite good mic and speaker not only the strongest "pong" of
an audio ping would be usable, also later, more soft "pongs" - so
this:

could observe more than the line device next wall.

It could be also a primitive room-movement sensor - accustic character 
changes when sombebody stands in a room - controll your office/hotel
room... 
Maybe in big rooms (church, hall, museum) would be possible to learn
the software where people are - e.g. have expensive TV equipment in
one corner and protect it by getting an alert from an ultrasonic sensor 
when somebody will go there to close...


BTW ultrasonic reflection  would be in indicator if the device
is still in a pocket, or laying on a table... another indicatior
to chanage the call/sms/email/chat... profile (how to ring...)
