Abstract
An operation device includes a first condition in which the operation device consumes a first amount of electric power; a second condition in which the operation device consumes a second amount of electric power; a first detecting unit, to which electric power is supplied in the second condition, having a first detection range and detecting a person in the first detection range; a second detecting unit having a second detection range and detecting the person in the second detection range; a transmitting section that transmits, when the person is detected by the first detecting unit in the second condition, the electric power required for the second detecting unit to detect the person to the second detecting unit; and an instructing section that instructs, when the person is detected by the second detecting unit, the operation device to change a condition from the second condition to the first condition.
