More Information
Summary:A method, according to one example, includes sensing audio information with an audio microphone of a computing device. The method includes determining, by a controller of the computing device, whether the sensed audio information indicates footsteps moving toward the computing device. The method includes causing, by the controller, a powering up of a presence sensor having a higher power consumption than the microphone in response to a determination by the controller that the sensed audio information indicates footsteps moving toward the computing device.
