Power management for electronic devices
First Claim
1. A cordless electronic device with power management, comprising:
- an outer surface;
a power consumption circuit operable to consume power and for use in the cordless electronic device;
a power supply circuit operable to regulate the power from a power source used to power the power consumption circuit;
a power control circuit operable to receive an input signal and to place the power consumption circuit in a lower or higher power state upon receipt of the input signal; and
a presence sensor operable to detect the presence of a user and to provide a presence sensor input signal to the power control circuit to place the power consumption circuit in the higher power state upon detection of the presence of the user.
