Abstract:
A sensor hub coupled to one or more sensors and an application processor of a communications apparatus includes a sensing module and a micro-processor. The sensing module receives raw data from the sensors. The raw data is generated by the sensors when sensing one or more events. The micro-processor constructs an adaptive model according to a plurality of parameters and identifies user activity according to the raw data based on the adaptive model. The sensor hub is an always-on sub-system for assisting the application processor to identify user activity according to the raw data. The micro-processor further receives updated parameters and updates the adaptive model according to the updated parameters.
