Zusammenfassung:An information handling system manages operation of an infrared time of flight sensor to provide accurate and timely user presence and absence detection through monitoring of the time of flight distance detection for indications of object velocity that validates or invalidates a transition between the user presence and user absence states. An integrated sensor hub in a central processing unit stores distances received from the infrared time of flight sensor in a distance table in association with a time stamp of the distance measurement. During monitoring of distances received from the infrared time of flight sensor, if the integrated sensor hub detects a user absence or presence, validation of the transition is performed by analyzing the stored distances to determine a vector of velocity at the state transition.
