Abstract: Techniques for disabling a sensor are described. In an example, the techniques include receiving input data indicating a request to disable a sensor of the device. Based on the input data, the sensor is disabled by at least decoupling the sensor from a power source and decoupling the sensor from an input terminal of a processor of the device. The techniques also include sending, to a plurality of clients that are implemented on the device and that are configured to receive sensor data generated by the sensor, notification data indicating that the sensor is disabled. Further, the techniques include outputting, by a user interface of the device, an indication that the sensor is disabled.

Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling a sensing state of a device. For example, a controller of the device receives input data indicating a request to disable a sensor of the device. The controller determines that the sensor is not disabled and is to enter a mute state based on the input data. Accordingly, controller causes the sensor to be decoupled from a power source via a power switch, causes the sensor to be decoupled from a processor of the device via a data switch, and causes outputting of an indication of the mute state by a user interface of the device.

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.
