Embedded computing device

A method in an apparatus, comprising:

• generating, by a first processing core, first control signals;
• controlling a display by providing the first control signals to the display via a first display interface;
• generating, by a second processing core, second control signals;
• controlling the display by providing the second control signals to the display via a second display interface, and
• causing the second processing core to enter and leave a hibernation state based at least partly on a determination, by the first processing core, concerning an instruction from outside the apparatus, wherein microphone data is obtained internally in the apparatus from a microphone comprised in the apparatus, wherein the first processing core causes the second processing core to leave the hibernation state responsive to a determination that a preconfigured spoken instruction has been recorded in the microphone data, the instruction from outside the apparatus comprising the preconfigured spoken instruction, and process the microphone data to identify the spoken instruction from among plural possible spoken instructions and selecting, by the first processing core, from among plural active states, a state it starts the second processing core into based on which spoken instruction was identified, by the first processing core, in the microphone data,
• wherein each of the active states has a unique functionality.

A non-transitory computer readable non-transitory medium having stored thereon a set of computer readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause an apparatus to at least:

• generate, by a first processing core, first control signals;
• control a display by providing the first control signals to the display via a first display interface;
• generate, by a second processing core, second control signals;
• control the display by providing the second control signals to the display via a second display interface, and
• cause the second processing core to enter and leave a hibernation state based at least partly on a determination, by the first processing core, concerning an instruction from outside the apparatus, wherein the microphone data is obtained internally in the apparatus from a microphone comprised in the apparatus, wherein the first processing core causes the second processing core to leave the hibernation state responsive to a determination that a preconfigured spoken instruction has been recorded in the microphone data, the instruction from outside the apparatus comprising the preconfigured spoken instruction, and causing the first processing core to process the microphone data to identify the spoken instruction from among plural possible spoken instructions and to select, from among plural active states, a state it starts the second processing core into based on which spoken instruction was identified, by the first processing core, in the microphone data,
• wherein each of the active states has a unique functionality.
