    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to dynamically schedule a wake pattern in a computing system. An example apparatus includes a device state controller to determine contexts of a device based on sensor measurements collected at a first time, an associator to associate a state of an operating system with the contexts of the device, the state obtained at a second time after the first time, a training controller to generate a prediction model based on the association, the prediction model to predict a third time when the state of the operating system will be active based on the contexts, and a schedule controller to reduce power consumption of the device by triggering a wake event before the third time, the wake event to prepare the device for exiting an inactive state.

    Abstract: An activity monitoring circuit enables power conservation for an activity monitoring system. The activity monitoring system includes a sensor device that generates activity data based on detected movement. An activity monitoring circuit receives the activity data as input from the sensor device, and processes the activity data. Based on the processing, the activity monitoring circuit signals the sensor device to change a duty cycle of its operation, by adjusting how long it is on and off. The activity monitoring circuit can include a sensor hub that determines an activity state indicated by the activity data and generates a prediction of stability of the determined activity state based on historical activity data. Based on activity state and stability, the sensor hub can determine a duty cycle for operation of the sensor device.

    Abstract: Memory sharing techniques are provided for offloading an application from a host processor to an integrated sensor hub (ISH). A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes allocating a shared region of memory to be accessed by the host processor and by the ISH, in connection with the execution of a location application. The method also includes storing a location database in the shared region of memory. The location database is divided into segments, where each segment is associated with an area, for example, defined by a range of latitudes and longitudes. The method further includes transferring, through a direct memory access (DMA), one or more of the segments between the shared memory region and a second memory associated with the ISH. The method further includes executing at least a portion of the location application on the ISH, based on the data segments stored in the second memory.

    Abstract: Technologies for determining a user's location by a mobile computing device include detecting, based on sensed inertial characteristics of the mobile computing device, that a user of the mobile computing device has taken a physical step in a direction. The mobile computing device determines a directional heading of the mobile computing device in the direction and a variation of an orientation of the mobile computing device relative to a previous orientation of the mobile computing device at a previous physical step of the user based on the sensed inertial characteristics. The mobile computing device further applies a Kalman filter to determine a heading of the user based on the determined directional heading of the mobile computing device and the variation of the orientation and determines an estimated location of the user based on the user's determined heading, an estimated step length of the user, and a previous location of the user at the previous physical step.

Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
