1. A computing device comprising:
an image sensor;
wireless communication circuitry; and
an operations controller to:
detect a presence or an absence of a user of the computing device based on an analysis of image data generated by the image sensor; and
detect an engagement of the user relative to the computing device; and
a wireless communications mode controller to cause the wireless communication circuitry to switch between different ones of at least three operation modes based on the presence or the absence of the user and based on the engagement of the user, the at least three operation modes of the wireless communication circuitry including a first operation mode, a second operation mode, and a third operation mode, the first operation mode to consume a different amount of power than consumed by the second operation mode and a different amount of power than consumed by the third operation mode, the second operation mode to consume a different amount of power than consumed by the third operation mode, each of the first, second, and third operation modes to consume more power than consumed by an off mode of the wireless communication circuitry.
