PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

An Intelligent Sensor Interfacing Unit (ISIU) for detection and configuration of sensors for a Portable Electronic Device (PED). The ISIU may identify sensors connected to the PED, according to an implementation of the present subject matter. The ISIU then determines information relating to the capabilities and requirements of the identified sensors. The ISIU on the basis of the determined sensor information may access that one of the sensors' identified may be newly coupled to the PED. Further, the ISIU upon accessing that one of the sensors' may be newly coupled to the PED, shares sensor information with Host CPU of the PED. The Host CPU upon receiving such information configures the newly coupled sensor and trains the ISIU for execution of the newly coupled sensor in future.

1. A method for detecting and configuring sensors for a portable electronic device (PED), the method comprising:
identifying at least one sensor connected to the portable electronic device; determining sensor information corresponding to each of the at least one sensor, wherein the sensor information is indicative of capabilities and requirements of each of the at least one sensor; assessing a sensor from amongst the at least one sensor to be newly coupled to the PED based on comparison of the sensor information with a sensor information database, wherein the sensor information database includes a sensor identification (ID) corresponding to each preconfigured sensor; and configuring the sensor onto the PED for sensing data.
