Abstract
An application configured to provide a service using a particular type of sensor data can be executed by a first mobile device. The application attempting to access the particular type of sensor data from the first mobile device can be detected. Responsive to detecting the application attempting to access the particular type of sensor data from the first mobile device, the first mobile device can receive first sensor data from at least a second mobile device via at least a first low energy communication link, wherein the first sensor data received from the second mobile device is the particular type of sensor data the application is attempting to access, and the first mobile device can execute program code configured to provide the particular type of sensor data, and providing the first sensor data received from the second mobile device to the application.
