Introduction to Sensor Hubs
A sensor hub [1–3] is a connection point for multiple sensors that uses a micro controller unit (MCU), coprocessor, or digital signal processor (DSP) to compile and process data gathered from those sensors.
A sensor hub can be the offload engine for the main processor of the device. When the sensors provide environment and ecosystem data, it is gathered and processed by the ...
