Trusted sensor data unaffected when an application processor operates in an unlocked state

A communication device, comprising:

• at least one sensor generating raw sensor data;
• a sensor processor receiving the raw sensor data from the at least one sensor and processing the raw sensor data to generate processed sensor data;
• an application processor receiving at least a first portion of the processed sensor data from the sensor processor and further processing the first portion of the processed sensor data in at least one secured application executed by the application processor, the application processor configured to operate in a locked state in which a user is not allowed to alter the at least one secured application and operate in an unlocked state in which the user is allowed to alter the at least one secured application;
• and
• a communications processor receiving at least a second portion of the processed sensor data from the sensor processor and further processing the second portion of the processed sensor data to control RF communications by the communication device, wherein the second portion of the processed sensor data received by the communications processor from the sensor processor is trusted sensor data not affected by the application processor when the application processor operates in the unlocked state.

A computer program product for controlling RF communications by a communication device, said computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage device having stored thereon program code that, when executed, configures a processor to perform executable operations comprising:
• receiving, by a sensor processor, raw sensor data from at least one sensor and processing, by the sensor processor, the raw sensor data to generate processed sensor data;
• receiving, by an application processor, at least a first portion of the processed sensor data from the sensor processor and further processing, by the application processor, the first portion of the processed sensor data in at least one secured application executed by the application processor, the application processor configured to operate in a locked state in which a user is not allowed to alter the at least one secured application and operate in an unlocked state in which the user is allowed to alter the at least one secured application;
• and
• receiving, by a communications processor, at least a second portion of the processed sensor data from the sensor processor and further processing, by the communications processor, the second portion of the processed sensor data to control RF communications by the communication device, wherein the second portion of the processed sensor data received by the communications processor from the sensor processor is trusted sensor data not affected by the application processor when the application processor operates in the unlocked state.
