Abstract
Systems and methods are described for reducing the power consumption of a camera-based presence detection system of a user device. The camera-based presence detection system is used to transition the user device from a low-power mode to another power mode when the presence of a user is detected. To reduce the power consumption of the camera-based presence detection system, an operating parameter of the camera-based presence detection system may be modified based on contextual information received while the user device is in the low-power mode. For example, an operating parameter of the camera-based presence detection system is modified when the contextual information indicates that there is a reduced reliability or utility of the camera-based presence detection system.
