1. An apparatus for autonomic power adjustment in an electronic device, comprising:
- a collector configured to collect indicia of a user'"'"'s body position in relation to an electronic device for a user who maintains close proximity to the electronic device;
a determination module configured to determine a power state for the electronic device based on the indicia; and
a power control module configured to selectively adjust power supplied to subsystems of the electronic device to transition to the determined power state.

Abstract
An apparatus, a system, and a method are provided for autonomic power adjustment in an electronic device. The apparatus, system, and method include a collector configured to collect indicia of a user'"'"'s body position in relation to an electronic device for a user who maintains close proximity to the electronic device. A determination module is provided that determines a power state for the electronic device based on the indicia. A power control module selectively adjusts power supplied to subsystems of the electronic device to transition to the determined power state.
