Methods and apparatus to save power based on user presence

An apparatus to decrease battery charging time comprising:

• memory;
• computer readable instructions that are stored on the memory;
• and
• programmable circuitry to instantiate:
• user presence detector circuitry to determine if a user is present or not present;
• power circuitry to:
• in response to a determination that the user is present, charge a battery of the apparatus at a first charge level;
• and
• in response to a determination that the user is not present, charge the battery of the apparatus at a second charge level.

An apparatus to conserve battery power comprising:

• a network interface to communicate with a cloud device, the cloud device to perform artificial intelligence (AI) inference;
• computer readable instructions;
• and
• programmable circuitry to instantiate:
• user presence detector circuitry to determine if a user is present or not present;
• and
• workload distributor circuitry to:
• in response to a determination that the user is present, distribute an AI workload to first AI inference circuitry that is local to the apparatus;
• and
• in response to a determination that the user is not present, distribute the AI workload to second AI inference circuitry that is external to the apparatus.
