Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatuses and methods for sensor blocking. In a number of embodiments, a method can include operating a sensor block of an apparatus in a first mode to allow a sensor to receive inputs, and operating the sensor block in a second mode to inhibit the sensor from receiving the inputs. A sensor block can be used to prevent a sensor, such as an image sensor, from receiving an input, such as a light source input, to capture image data. A sensor block can be used to prevent a sensor from capturing image data even when an application causing to the sensor to operate, such as when applications have access to the sensor, but the user of a device is unaware that an application is using the sensor. The sensor block can be used to prevent the sensor from capturing useful images and the sensor can only capture a black image of the sensor block and not the surroundings of the device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to media type selection are described. Memory systems can include multiple types of memory media (e.g., volatile and/or non-volatile) and can write data to the memory media types. Data inputs can be written (e.g., stored) in a particular type of memory media based on characteristics (e.g., source, attributes, and/or information etc. included in the data). For instance, selection of memory media can be based on characteristics of the memory media type and the attributes of the data input. In an example, a method can include receiving, by a memory system that comprises a plurality of memory media types, data from at least one of a plurality of sensors, identifying one or more attributes of the data; and selecting, based at least in part on the one or more attributes of the data, one or more of the memory media types to write the data to.

Memory systems can include multiple types of memory media (e.g., volatile and/or non-volatile) and data (e.g., information included in) stored in the memory media often are subject to risks of the data being undesirably exposed to the public.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a particular portion and/or location in the memory media can provide a data protection scheme such that data stored in the particular location can be refrained from being transferred out of the computing system.
