Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a frame;
- a sensor coupled to the frame;
- a hardware switch having an on position and an off position, the hardware switch coupled to the frame wherein when the hardware switch is in an off position a portion of the hardware switch disables the sensor and when the hardware switch is in an on position the sensor is enabled;
- and
- a processing device configured to execute at least one application associated with the sensor;
- wherein, in response to detecting a change in a position of the hardware switch, the processing device is configured to generate a notification that identifies the at least one application when the application is active.

A smartphone, comprising:
- a frame;
- a system on a chip (SoC) coupled to the frame and configured to send data to and receive data from one or more other components of the smartphone;
- a hardware switch having an on position and an off position, the hardware switch coupled to the frame wherein when the hardware switch is in an off position the SoC is disabled and when the switch is in an on position the SoC is enabled;
- and
- a processing device configured to execute at least one application associated with the SoC;
- wherein, in response to detecting a change in a position of the hardware switch, the processing device is configured to generate a notification that identifies the at least one application when the application is active.
