When the controller detects a finger of a user and enters the finger on state, the touch I/O device may enter a particular sub-state based on the sub-state variable. Further, when a fingerprint is captured in capture sub-state, the controller may switch sub-states based on the value of the sub-state variable. In various implementations, the host may provide one or more APIs that may be utilized by applications to directly influence the controller and/or request that the host do so. 1. A system for semi-autonomous operation of touch I/O device controllers under control of host devices , comprising:at least one host device including at least one host processing unit;at least one touch I/O device hosted by the at least one host device; andat least one touch I/O device controller that controls the at least one touch I/O device controlled;wherein the at least one touch I/O device controller is configured to operate in at least a wait state where the at least one touch I/O device controller waits to detect that the at least one touch I/O device is being touched and an on state where the at least one touch I/O device controller has detected that the at least one touch I/O device is being touched, the at least one touch I/O device controller configured to operate in at least one of a plurality of sub-states when operating in the on state, and the at least one touch I/O device controller configured to determine which of the plurality of sub-states to operate in when entering the on state based at least on a value assigned to a sub-state variable by the at least one host processing unit.2. The system of ...

A device-controlling system configures, monitors, and controls one or more interfacing devices, such that an interfacing device can obtain and disseminate sensor data from one or more attached physical devices that include sensors for measuring physical attributes. During operation, the system can configure an interfacing device by establishing a network connection with an interfacing device, and determining one or more rules for the interfacing device. A rule can indicate an action description for performing an action, and indicates a condition that indicates criteria for processing the rule's action description. The system can configure the interfacing device to process its associated rules.
