Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by at least one processor of an electronic device, from a first sensor of the electronic device, a first interrupt signal indicating that the first sensor detected a first sensor input; responsive to receiving the first interrupt signal, activating, by the at least one processor, a second sensor of the electronic device that detects intentional and unintentional user inputs; receiving, by the at least one processor, from the first sensor, a second interrupt signal indicating that the first sensor detected a second sensor input; determining, by the at least one processor, based on the first interrupt signal and the second interrupt signal, that the second sensor has detected an intentional user input that activates a function of the electronic device; and responsive to determining that the second sensor has detected the intentional user input and responsive to determining that a respective quantity of data stored by a data buffer associated with at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor satisfies a respective quantity threshold, activating, by the at least one processor, the function of the electronic device.
