Abstract: In a method of adaptive buffering in a mobile device having a host processor and a sensor processor coupled with the host processor, the sensor processor is used to buffer data received from a sensor that is operated by the sensor processor. The data is buffered by the sensor processor into a circular data buffer. Responsive to the sensor processor detecting triggering data within the received data: a first adaptive data buffering action is initiated with respect to the data received from the sensor operated by the sensor processor; a second adaptive data buffering action is initiated with respect to second data received from a second sensor of the mobile device; and a command is sent from the sensor processor to a second processor.

Abstract: In a method of adaptive buffering in a mobile device having a host processor and a sensor processor coupled with the host processor, the sensor processor is used to buffer data received from a sensor that is operated by the sensor processor, wherein the data is buffered by the sensor processor into a circular data buffer. In response to the sensor processor detecting triggering data within the received data: the sensor processor sets a start-end marker in the circular data buffer; and a command is sent from the sensor processor to a second processor.
