1. A method for use by a computing device comprising at least one processor, at least one memory, and an associated sensor, wherein computer-executable instructions are stored in the at least one memory which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

  • receiving, from multiple applications, requests for sensor data from the associated sensor, the requests including sensor sample intervals and wherein at least some of the sensor sample intervals are different;

    receiving, from the multiple applications, requests for report interval modes for the sensor data to be provided by the associated sensor to the multiple applications, wherein the requested report interval modes indicate how to send the sensor data when the sensor sample intervals from the multiple applications are different; and

    sending the sensor data to the multiple applications based on the requested report interval modes and the sensor sample intervals;

    wherein the requested report interval modes comprise an opportunistic mode where the sensor data is allowed to be sent to a respective application of the multiple applications at a rate higher than a requested sensor sample interval from the respective application.
