API SENSOR API FRAMEWORK FOR CLOUD BASED APPLICATIONS

摘要

An apparatus and method for a framework for exposing an application programming interface (API) to web based server applications on the Internet or in the cloud are provided. The API allows server applications to retrieve sensor data from a mobile device via a low power sensor core processor on the mobile device. This API eliminates the effort and expense associated with developing and facilitating new mobile device client applications. The API framework includes APIs that a web-based application may use to fetch sensor data from one or more specific sensors on the mobile device.
