ABSTRACT:
A computer is power managed by detecting the presence of a user. A camera is associated with the computer and the output from the camera is analyzed to determine if the user is present. If the user is present, then the computer is maintained in its non-power manage state. When the user leaves, however, the user's presence is no longer detected by the camera, and the power managed state can be quickly entered.
