Remarks

Presence detection can have a significant impact on security, responsiveness, and performance.

  • Devices can be locked automatically when left unattended to protect sensitive files and other info.
  • User intent can be inferred to reduce the response time required from detection to authentication or interaction.
  • Battery life can be preserved by reducing unnecessary screen idle time.

Properties
