SENSOR HIERARCHY
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- at least one first level sensor to generate first level sensor information based on sensing an event;
at least one second level sensor; and
a sensor control module to control operation of the at least one second level sensor based on the first level sensor information.

Abstract
In general, systems/devices consistent with the present disclosure may be configured to interact with (e.g., receive information from and/or control the operation of) sensors organized based on a hierarchy. The term hierarchy, as referenced herein, may describe an arrangement of items (e.g., sensors) into leveled groups organized based on at least one criterion including, for example, ability, complexity, energy consumption, etc. In one embodiment, a system/device may comprise, for example, at least one first level sensor, at least one second level sensor and a sensor control module. The first level sensor may be configured to generate first level sensor information based on sensing an event. The sensor module may be configured to control operation of the at least one second level sensor based on the first level sensor information.
