The SoC is controlled by a proprietary embedded application
called Sentinel:
a. The Sentinel application allows for communication between the VYYR2401 A3 SoC
and a higher-level application running on the iOS mobile device.
b. The application configures the SoC to perform a targeted scanning and image capture
task, as specified by the user via the application.
c. The Sentinel app calibrates the SoC sensor array as required by the current task.
d. The Sentinel app uses the SoC sensor array and SoC GPUs to capture and process
image data.
e. The Sentinel app then converts the image data into formats supported by the mobile
application.
f. The Sentinel app analyzes image data to identify weapons and possible harmful
materials on an individual or concealed within a transport case (such as luggage, brief
cases, boxes, containers, etc.).
g. The Sentinel app analyzes image data to identify targets selected by the user via the
mobile application.
h. The Sentinel app tracks moving targets selected by the user via the mobile application.
i. Tracking is facilitated by markers visualized on the iOS mobile device screen, said
markers then pinpoints the moving target.
j. The user aides in the tracking of the target by continually directing the SWORD case
in the direction of the target identified by the visual markers.
k. The Sentinel app also monitors and optimize power consumption to extend the life
of the lithium_ion battery.
