Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus for facilitating a connection with an external sensor module, in accordance with some embodiments. In one instance, the apparatus may include a processor and a sensor hub coupled with the processor, wherein the sensor hub may include a bus to provide a connection between the apparatus and the external sensor module. The apparatus may further include signal pattern generation circuitry coupled with the sensor hub to generate a signal pattern in response to a connection of the external sensor module to the apparatus via the bus or disconnect of the external sensor module from the bus, to indicate an insert or remove event to the apparatus, and facilitate the connection of the apparatus with the external sensor module. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
