| adaptateur du capteur | sensor adapter (An adapter that acts as a wrapper around the physical sensor, and provides a standard interface for configuring the sensor, capturing samples, and controlling the flow of biometric data from the sensor into the processing engine) |
| capteur biométrique | biometric sensor (A category of sensor that collects biometric data for a variety of applications) |
| capteur de communication en champ proche | near field communication sensor (A type of sensor (such as a proximity sensor) that uses near field communication (NFC)) |
| capteur de luminosité | light sensor (A category of sensor that responds to a pre-defined amount of light) |
| capteur de luminosité ambiante | ambient light sensor (A type of light sensor that tracks ambient light in the surroundings and therefore the amount of backlight needed for the LCD screen to be adjusted accordingly) |
| capteur de proximité | proximity sensor (A type of sensor that can determine without physical contact if an object/person is nearby, or can be used to measure the distance between the object/person and the sensor device) |
| capteur d'emplacement | location sensor (A category of sensor that can detect the current location of your computer) |
| capteur d'identification par radiofréquence | radio frequency identification sensor (A type of sensor (such as a proximity sensor) that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) for a numerous purposes, such as identification of physical items, automatic log on, location of people, etc) |
| capteur d'image | image sensor (A device used in digital cameras to capture visual information) |
| capteur environnemental | environmental sensor (A category of sensor that tracks environmental changes such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed and wind direction) |

| Localisation et autres capteurs | Location and Other Sensors (An area within the Windows Control Panel that provides support for sensors such as enabling, disabling or uninstalling sensors and sensor-enabled applications, changing sensor settings, etc) |
| plateforme Localisation et capteurs Windows | Windows Sensor and Location platform (A Windows platform that provides a standard way for device manufacturers to expose sensor devices to software developers and consumers, while providing developers with a standardized application programming interface (API) for working with sensors and sensor data. Examples of sensors include ambient light sensors, location sensors, motion detection sensors, etc) |
| service de surveillance des capteurs | sensor monitoring service (A Windows service that supports screen rotation, screen brightness, and the inbox location provider. Windows 8 starts this service whenever it detects one of the corresponding sensors or when a user launches a location-aware app) |
