cause, based on a detection by the sensor using the first sensitivity level of a change of a plurality of changes in a device factor, a feature to be activated and the sensor to use a second sensitivity level;
determine, based on a detection by the sensor using the second sensitivity level of the plurality of changes, that a frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfies a frequency threshold; and
cause, based on the frequency of the plurality of changes in the device factor satisfying the frequency threshold, a timeout period associated with the device factor to be extended, wherein the feature is deactivated upon an expiration of the timeout period.
