Information handling system peripheral enhanced user presence detection

An information handling system comprising:

• a housing;
• a processor disposed in the housing and operable to execute instructions that process information;
• a memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information;
• a graphics processor disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the graphics processor operable to process the information to defined visual images for presentation at a display;
• a display integrated in the housing and interfaced with the graphics processor, the display operable to present the visual image;
• an embedded controller disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the embedded controller operable to coordinate communications of input devices to the processor;
• a first infrared time of flight sensor integrated in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the infrared time of flight sensor operable to detect an end user presence proximate the display;
• a peripheral external to the housing and interfaced with the processor to interact with the end user and the information, the peripheral integrating a second infrared time of flight sensor;
• and
• a presence detection module stored in non-transient memory and operable when executed on a processor to receive presence detection information from the first and second infrared time of flight sensor and to apply the presence detection information from both the first and second infrared time of flight sensors to determine and end user presence or absence state.
