Sensor Framework

Submitted by wing, updated on 22 Dec 2009

Introduction

Sensor Framework provides applications with of multi-access sensor hardware. Sensor Framework is not bound to sense of Moblin, but also aims to close gaps in Linux.

With Sensor Framework, applications don’t to know the device’s specific information or talk directly to the driver because Sensor Framework hides these details. What's required is to link application itself with the sensor API library or connect application to framework's DBUS service.

Functionalities

  1. System sensor hardware management
  2. Normalizing and filtering sensor data
  3. A plug-in system which works for various drivers
  4. Multi-access to a single device
  5. Sensor power management
  6. Context awareness event abstraction
  7. Easy binding to high level languages
