SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIERARCHICAL SENSOR PROCESSING

摘要

The present invention is directed toward a device and system having a sensor hub capable of receiving measurement outputs from a plurality of sensors and processing the measurements for output to other devices, such as by using a single chip arrangement. The sensor hub provides for facilitating efficient communication among the sensors for improved high-level features, such as interpreting gestures or actions according to the context. Two or more hierarchical processing levels may be provided so that sensor data processed at a lower level is output to an upper level for further processing or other operation involving the processed data from the lower level.

主权项

1. A method for processing sensor data hierarchically, comprising:
receiving sensor data input at a first processing level; performing a first operation on the received sensor data input at the first processing level; outputting processed sensor data from the first processing level to a second processing level; performing a second operation on the processed sensor data at the second processing level; and outputting a result from the second operation to a third processing level.
