    Abstract: An electro-optical device (18) includes a laser light source (20), which emits at least one beam of light pulses, a beam steering device (24), which transmits and scans the at least one beam across a target scene (22), and an array (28) of sensing elements (44). Each sensing element outputs a signal indicative of a time of incidence of a single photon on the sensing element. Light collection optics (27) image the target scene scanned by the transmitted beam onto the array. Circuitry (50) is coupled to actuate the sensing elements only in a selected region (70) of the array and to sweep the selected region over the array in synchronization with scanning of the at least one beam.

    Abstract: One embodiment may take the form of a method of operating a computing device to provide presence based functionality. The method may include operating the computing device in a reduced power state and collecting a first set of data from at least one sensor. Based on the first set of data, the computing device determines a probability that an object is within a threshold distance of the computing device and, if the object is within the threshold distance, the device activates at least one secondary sensor to collect a second set of data. Based on the second set of data, the device determines if the object is a person. If the object is a person, the device determines a position of the person relative to the computing device and executes a change of state in the computing device based on the position of the person relative to the computing device. If the object is not a person, the computing device remains in a reduced power state.
