sensor
Any hardware or software that can detect events or environmental changes, such as your current location or the amount of light around your computer. For example, a notebook with a location sensor, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, can determine your exact location. An ambient light sensor can detect when there is a change in lighting, and then a program can use that information to adjust the brightness of your screen.
