Abstract
Methods and systems for enabling a mobile device to batch sensor data based on events associated with the mobile device and without utilizing one or more main application processors are disclosed. In one example, a system is provided. The system may include one or more sensors, a memory, one or more main application processors, and one or more sensor processors. The one or more main application processors may be configured to, based on an event associated with the mobile device, send data indicating a request for sensor data to the one or more sensor processors. In response, the one or more sensor processors may be configured to determine sensor data using the one or more sensors while the one or more main application processors of the mobile device is in the inactive state. Once the sensor data has been determined, the one or more sensor processors may store the sensor data into one or more first in, first out (FIFO) queues in the memory.
