Host Offloading Architecture
First Claim
1. A communication platform, comprising:
- a host processor configured to perform a plurality of processing operations;
a communication module communicatively coupled to the host processor; and
a sensor hub communicatively coupled to the host processor, the communication module, and one or more sensor modules configured to provide relativity information to the sensor hub, wherein the host processor is configured to offload a first portion of the processing operations that are associated with the relativity information to the sensor hub, and wherein the sensor hub is configured to execute the first portion of processing operations using the relativity information.

Abstract
A communication platform that integrates communication and sensing capabilities into a single integrated communication platform. The communication platform can senses relativity information, such as environmental information, location information, platform user information, or the like. Further, the communication platform can perform cross-sensor functionality so as to utilize relativity information from multiple sensors. The cross-sensor functionality can be utilized in multiples sensors implemented within the communication platform, in one or more other communication platforms, or any combination thereof. The communication platform can also offload processing operations from a host processor to one or more sensor hubs and/or sensor processors within the communication platform and/or to a sensor processor of one or more other communication platforms. Similarly, the communication platform can also offload sensing operations by requesting relativity from one or more sensors of one or more other communication platforms.
