Abstract
A mobile device with a sensor hub and sensors and a method for controlling the mobile device are provided. The method includes receiving state information regarding the mobile device, setting a sensor sampling period based on the received state information, and receiving measured values from one or more sensors according to the set, sensor sampling period. The sensor hub receives the state information regarding the mobile device, sets a sensor sampling period based on the received state information, and receives measured values from one or more sensors according to the set sensor sampling periods. The mobile device controls the sensors via the sensor hub irrespective of the operations of the main processor. The sensor hub sets a sensor sampling period based on the received state values of a mobile device.
