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, by a processor of a mobile device and from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the mobile device, sensor data corresponding to a first timeframe; storing, by the processor, the sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe using a data buffer; receiving, by the processor and from at least one camera of the mobile device, image data corresponding to a second timeframe, wherein the second timeframe is subsequent to the first timeframe; receiving, by the processor and from the IMU, sensor data corresponding to the second timeframe; generating, by the processor, a digital image that includes at least the image data corresponding to the second timeframe, the stored sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe, and the sensor data corresponding to the second timeframe, wherein the stored sensor data corresponding to the first timeframe and the sensor data corresponding to the second timeframe are embedded in pixels of the digital image; and providing, by the processor, the digital image to an application processor of the mobile device.
