Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementing an adaptive threshold for user absence prediction for power state transitions. A controller of a device monitors a user presence and/or absence of a user, in some cases, correlated with time, and determines whether the user presence and/or absence at the correlated time is consistent with a power management model that is based on a time-based probability of user absence relative to a dynamic probability threshold. The dynamic probability threshold is a function (e.g., a sum) of a base probability threshold corresponding to device-specific time-usage characteristics and a heuristic probability threshold corresponding to user-specific time-usage characteristics. When inconsistent, the controller adjusts the dynamic probability threshold to account for the user presence and/or absence at the correlated time. The controller updates the power management model based on the dynamic probability threshold, and sets a sleep or wake state of the device accordingly.
