Abstract
Methods and apparatus receiving data at a first time from at least one sensor, determining a parameter from the received data for the first time, estimating the parameter for a future time based on the data for first time, and outputting the estimated parameter for the future time to a receiving device. In some embodiments, an IC package can process the received data to generate the estimated parameter for the future time. The IC package may transmit the estimated parameter using a particular protocol. In some embodiments, the receiving device can treat the estimated parameter as real-time data.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- receiving data at a first time from at least one sensor;
- determining a parameter from the received data for the first time;
- estimating the parameter for a future time based on the data for first time;
- and
- outputting the estimated parameter for the future time to a receiving device, wherein estimating the parameter for the future time includes:
- estimating a time for an IC package to process signals from the at least one sensor in the IC package;
- estimating a time for the IC package to perform processing for the estimating of the parameter at the future time;
- estimating a time corresponding to transmission of the estimated parameter at the future time to the receiving device;
- and
- estimating a time for the receiving device to process the estimated parameter at the future time.
A system, comprising:
- an interface to receive data at a first time from at least one sensor;
- a processing module to determine a parameter from the received data for the first time, and to estimate the parameter for a future time based on the data for first time;
- and
- an output to output the estimated parameter for the future time to a receiving device, wherein estimating the parameter for the future time includes:
- an estimated time for an IC package to process signals from the at least one sensor in the IC package;
- an estimated time for the IC package to perform processing for the estimating of the parameter at the future time;
- an estimated time corresponding to transmission of the estimated parameter at the future time to the receiving device;
- and
- an estimated time for the receiving device to process the estimated parameter at the future time.
