1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor of an information handling device; and
a memory that stores code executable by the processor to;
detect movement of air molecules in a user space that is proximate to the information handling device,determine whether one of a user and an airflow device caused the movement of air molecules within the user space based on one or more characteristics of the movement of air molecules that correspond with a human or an airflow device,in response to determining that the user caused the movement of air molecules within the user space, one of;
resume operations in the information handling device, andbegin operations in the information handling device, andin response to determining that the airflow device caused the movement of air molecules within the user space, maintain the information handling device in a standby state.

Abstract
A user detection apparatus includes a processor for an information handling device and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect a user in a user space that is proximate to the information handling device in response to an airflow being detected in the user space and, in response to detecting the user, resume or begin operations in the information handling device.

13. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, by use of a processor, movement of air molecules within a user space that is proximate to an information handling device; determining whether one of a user and an airflow device caused the movement of air molecules within the user space based on one or more characteristics of the movement of air molecules that correspond with a human or an airflow device; in response to determining that the user caused the movement of air molecules within the user space, one of; resuming operations in the information handling device, and beginning operations in the information handling device; and in response to determining that the airflow device caused the movement of air molecules within the user space, maintaining the information handling device in a standby state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
-
detecting, by use of a processor, movement of air molecules within a user space that is proximate to an information handling device; determining whether one of a user and an airflow device caused the movement of air molecules within the user space based on one or more characteristics of the movement of air molecules that correspond with a human or an airflow device; in response to determining that the user caused the movement of air molecules within the user space, one of; resuming operations in the information handling device, and beginning operations in the information handling device; and in response to determining that the airflow device caused the movement of air molecules within the user space, maintaining the information handling device in a standby state. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
