HUMAN PRESENCE DETECTION TECHNIQUES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a request to verify a presence of a human operator;
determining whether the human operator is present at an electronic device based on sensor data received from one or more physical sensors for the electronic device, the sensor data representing one or more physical characteristics of the electronic device; and
generating a human presence response indicating whether the human operator is present or not present at the electronic device based on the sensor data.

Abstract
Human presence techniques are described. For instance, an apparatus may comprise one or more physical sensors operative to monitor one or more physical characteristics of an electronic device, and a security controller communicatively coupled to the one or more physical sensors. The security controller may be operative to control security for the electronic device, the security controller comprising a human presence module operative to receive a request to verify a presence of a human operator, determine whether the human operator is present at the electronic device based on sensor data received from the one or more physical sensors for the electronic device, the sensor data representing one or more physical characteristics of the electronic device, and generate a human presence response indicating whether the human operator is present or not present at the electronic device based on the sensor data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
