WIRELESS LOW-ENERGY SECURE DATA TRANSFER
First Claim
1. A method of processing sensor data in a low-power wireless sensor interconnectivity system, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor data with a wireless communications interface of a mobile device, wherein;
the sensor data includes information indicative of data collected from one or more sensors,the mobile device includes an application processor and a low-power processor, andthe sensor data is received while the application processor is in a low-power state;
determining a routing identifier associated with the sensor data; and
based on the determined routing identifier, providing the sensor data to the low-power processing unit.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide for a sensor system with enhanced low-power features. Embodiments can include transmission of sensor data from a transmitter unit to a receiver unit. The sensor data can flag the sensor data with a particular header ID, enabling the receiver unit to route the sensor data to a low-power processing unit within the receiver unit without using the receiver unit'"'"'s higher-power application processer. Embodiments can also utilize a proprietary encryption engine to provide a supplementary encryption layer to any encryption utilized in the wireless protocol. The transmitter unit can also compress and batch the sensor data for sending, to further increase power savings.
