1. A method of remotely initiating a computer apparatus, comprising:
- receiving, over a network, confirmation of a detected and authenticated presence of a user remote from the computer apparatus;
logging in to a dedicated user resource that will be implemented using the computer apparatus in a protected workstate that prevents access to the computer apparatus until a local presence of the user is detected and authenticated;
unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus upon confirmation of the local presence of the user, andallowing access to the user upon unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus.

Abstract
A computer apparatus is remotely initiated. Confirmation of a detected and authenticated presence of a user is detected and confirmed remote from the computer apparatus. A dedicated resource that will be implemented using the computer apparatus is logged in in a protected workstate that prevents access to the computer apparatus until a local presence of the user is detected and authenticated. The workstate of the computer apparatus is unprotected upon confirmation of the local presence of the user. Access to the user is allowed upon unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus.

20. A computer apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions, wherein, when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving, over a network, confirmation of a detected and authenticated presence of a user remote from the computer apparatus; logging in to a dedicated user resource that will be implemented using the computer apparatus in a protected workstate that prevents access to the computer apparatus until a local presence of the user is detected and authenticated; unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus upon confirmation of the local presence of the user, and allowing access to the user upon unprotecting the workstate of the computer apparatus.
