Modifying operation of sensors using collected sensor data

A method for modifying a mode of operation of one or more sensors using collected sensor data, the modifying being based on detection of additional users in a physical environment, the method comprising:

• in response to determining that an authorization requirement associated with an access-controlled resource has been satisfied, providing a first user with access to the access-controlled resource;
• collecting sensor data from a first sensor describing a physical environment of the first user according to a first mode of operation, the first mode of operation defining an initial active performance for at least one the first and a second sensor used to collect the sensor data;
• detecting, based on the sensor data collected according to the first mode of operation, presence of a second user in the physical environment that is different than the first user in the physical environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the presence of the second user, causing the at least one the second sensor to switch from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation, wherein the second mode of operation is different than the first mode of operation, and the second mode of operation defines a revised active performance for the at least one second sensor used to collect the sensor data.

A computing device for modifying a mode of operation of one or more sensors using collected sensor data, the modifying being based on detection of additional users in a physical environment, the computing device comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• a memory, storing instructions, which when executed, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
• in response to determining that an authorization requirement associated with an access-controlled resource has been satisfied, providing a first user with access to the access-controlled resource;
• collecting sensor data from a first sensor describing a physical environment of the first user according to a first mode of operation, the first mode of operation defining an initial active performance for at least one the first and a second sensor used to collect the sensor data;
• detecting, based on the sensor data collected according to the first mode of operation, presence of a second user in the physical environment that is different than the first user in the physical environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the presence of the second user, causing the at least one the second sensor to switch from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation, wherein the second mode of operation is different than the first mode of operation, and the second mode of operation defines a revised active performance for the at least one second sensor used to collect the sensor data.
