2 Human Presence Detection & Management
Executive summary
As Information Handling Systems (IHSs) become more intelligent, the ability to maintain or
improve the key commercial tenets of Dell of most manageable, most secure and most
intelligent without compromise becomes essential as a North Star Direction. A key aspect to
this ability is the concept of the IHS being context-aware to attributes tied to user such as
persona, compute usage, habits, and attributes tied to environment such as ambient
brightness, location.
Non-intrusive Human Presence Detection (HPD) & management of HPD determinations
toward session & system management functionality are critical to this overall north star
direction.
In this whitepaper, we discuss the first HPD functionality launch with “Dell ExpressSign-In” on
the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1.
