Abstract

An apparatus is provided for controlling power supply to an electrical device. The apparatus comprises a user authenticator, a sensor (5) and a power controller, wherein the power controller is arranged, in use, to activate a power supply to the electrical device in dependence upon to information obtained via said user authenticator. The power controller is further arranged to control subsequent power supply to the electrical device in dependence upon information obtained via said user authenticator (2) or sensor (5).
