Abstract
Techniques are described for controlling a sensing state of a device. In an example, a controller of the device receives, at a first time, first input data indicating a first request to disable a sensor of the device. The controller causes the sensor to be disabled and stores first data indicating that the sensor is disabled. The device can also include a processor. The controller sends, to the processor, first output data that causes the processor to read the first data from the controller. At a second time, the controller receives second input data indicating a second request for an operation of the device. The controller stores second data associated with the second request and sends, to the processor, second output data that causes the processor to read the second data from the controller.
