Electronic apparatus and control method

An electronic device determines when a person has left its immediate area. It first uses a distance sensor to see if anything is nearby. If that object moves away, the device then activates a camera to confirm whether a person is still within its view, ensuring it accurately detects a person's departure.

Why it matters: On-device AI for person detection has significantly improved since 2020, making the camera-based confirmation more accurate and efficient for power management in portable devices.
