摘要： One embodiment may take the form of a method of operating a computing device in a reduced power state and collecting a first set of data from at least one sensor. Based on the first set of data, the computing device determines a probability that an object is within a threshold distance of the computing device and, if so, the device activates at least one secondary sensor to collect a second set of data. Based on the second set of data, the device determines if the object is a person. If it is a person, a position of the person relative to the computing device is determined and the computing device changes its state based on the position of the person. If the object is not a person, the computing device remains in a reduced power state.

摘要翻译： 一个实施例可以采取以降低功率状态操作计算设备的方法的形式，并且从至少一个传感器收集第一组数据。 基于第一组数据，计算设备确定对象在计算设备的阈值距离内的概率，如果是，则该设备激活至少一个辅助传感器以收集第二组数据。 基于第二组数据，设备确定对象是否是人。 如果是人，则确定人相对于计算设备的位置，并且计算设备基于人的位置改变其状态。 如果物体不是人，则计算设备保持在降低功率状态。

摘要： There is shown an single chip CMOS device for capturing a video image. The device includes an APS imager containing an array of pixels for providing a signal representing a scene, a row of extended dynamic range sample and hold circuits for receiving a signal from the array of pixels and a row of linear sample and hold circuits for receiving another signal for said array of pixels. Also included is an image processor for determining a controllable function and for processing a plurality of signals received from the extended dynamic range sample and hold circuits and the linear sample and hold circuits according to said controllable function to form a processed video signal. Further included is a memory for storing the controllable function and the processed video signal.
