Methods and systems for communicating sensor data on a mobile device

摘要

Methods and systems for communicating sensor data on a mobile device are described. An example method involves receiving, by a processor and from an inertial measurement unit (IMU), sensor data corresponding to a first timeframe, and storing the sensor data using a data buffer. The processor may also receive image data and sensor data corresponding to a second timeframe. The processor may then generate a digital image that includes at least the image data corresponding to the second timeframe and the sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe and the second timeframe. The processor may embed the stored sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe and the second timeframe in pixels of the digital image. And the processor may provide the digital image to an application processor of the mobile device.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a first processor of a device, a first digital image comprising first sensor data corresponding to a first timeframe, second sensor data corresponding to a second timeframe subsequent to the first timeframe, and image data corresponding to the second timeframe, wherein the first sensor data and second sensor data are embedded in pixels of the first digital image; and responsive to determining that the first sensor data was not correctly received by the first processor via a source other than the first digital image, extracting the first sensor data from the first digital image for use at the first processor.
