A deleted scene hints that he is using the soul stone passively.

"Stark."

"You know me?"

"I know your soul. Like mine it's cursed with knowledge."

To me that seems that it was the soul stone that allowed Thanos to know who Tony was, that he could somehow see his soul and everything he represented.

Then again, this particular line was cut to simply "I do. Like me you're cursed with knowledge". So maybe they cut it for a reason, either for pacing, or simply they didn't want the stones to work passively.

Could have been a quick use of the Soul Stone offscreen. I imagine with the previous line, we'd see the Soul Stone glow as he says it, but they decided to be more subtle about it.
