Patent number: 10642335Abstract: In an embodiment, a device may include an attention detection service. The attention detection service may monitor various peripheral devices in the device for indications that a user is paying attention to the device. Various clients may register for notification of attention detection and attention lost (attention no longer detected) events, or may poll the service for the events. If a user is not paying attention to the device, it may be possible to take various actions to permit reduced energy consumption.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Biron, Ronnie G.
