Abstract:
An electronic device includes an illuminable indicator, a presence detector, and a controller. The illuminable indicator is to indicate information to a user of the electronic device by one or more of being illuminated and not being illuminated. The presence detector is to detect presence of the user in proximity to the electronic device regardless of whether the user is moving or is stationary. Absence of the user is inferred upon the presence detector not detecting the presence of the user. The controller is to enable the illuminable indicator based at least on the presence of the user as detected by the presence detector and to disable the illuminable indictor based at least on the absence of the user. Enablement of the illuminable indicator does not mean that the illuminable indicator is necessarily illuminated. Disablement of the illuminable indicator means that the illuminable indicator is never illuminated while disabled.
