MOTION SENSOR IN MEMORY

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to memory device sensors are described. Memory systems can include multiple types of memory devices including memory media and can write data to the memory media. Some types of memory devices include sensors embedded in the circuitry of the memory device that can generate data. The memory device can transmit the data generated by the embedded sensor using a sensor output coupled to another device. In an example, a method can include generating orientation data, including coordinates, of a memory device by measuring linear acceleration or rotational motion using a motion sensor embedded in circuitry of the memory device, receiving a signal that represents image data from an image sensor, and pairing the orientation data of the memory device with the image data.
