  • Signal detect battery saver
    Patent number: 8588871
    Abstract: A computing device deactivates a sensor device after the sensor device is unable to detect a signal. A second sensor device, different from the deactivated sensor device, receives information that indicates whether the deactivated sensor device can detect a signal. The computing device activates the deactivated sensor device after the computing device determines that the deactivated sensor device can detect a signal. The determination is based, at least in part, on the information received by the second sensor device.
