Abstract
Method and apparatus of the present invention include an image-capturing device coupled to a computer system. An image captured by the image-capturing device is analyzed using a face tracking technique to learn behaviors of the user. This may include determining if the user is paying attention. The attention may be toward a display of the computer system. When the user does not pay attention, power consumption of one or more components of the computer system is reduced.
