Abstract
Techniques are described for controlling a sensing state of a device. In an example, a controller of the device stores, in a memory of the controller, first state data indicating a state of a sensor, the state being enabled. The controller, receives first input data indicating a request to disable the sensor. The controller determines that the sensor is enabled based at least in part on the first state data. Further, the controller causes the sensor to be disabled and stores, in the memory, second state data indicating that the sensor is disabled. The controller sends, to a processor, first output data indicating that the sensor is disabled.
