Abstract

In some implementations, a security cuff/frequency blocker comprises an outer portion and a blocking material. The outer portion may include a first surface and a second surface and may be configured to be placed around or over a wireless electronic device. The blocking material may be configured to prevent a communication of a wireless signal/frequency by the electronic device and may be located within a recess formed by the first surface and the second surface of the outer portion, or within a small pouch comprised of signal/frequency blocking material.

Claims (18)

1 . A security cuff/frequency blocking technology comprising:

an outer portion configured to be placed around an electronic device, wherein the outer portion includes a first surface and a second surface;

a blocking material configured to prevent a communication of a wireless signal by the electronic device to other devices whilst in a secure or denied environment, wherein the first surface is coupled to the second surface to encase the blocking material within the outer portion;

a flap portion configured to move from an open position and a closed position;

a windowed portion, wherein the windowed portion is covered by the flap portion when the flap portion is in the closed position; and

a set of fasteners configured to couple the flap portion to the outer portion when the flap portion is in the closed position.

2 . The security cuff/frequency blocker of claim 1 , wherein the blocking material comprises a Faraday material.

3 . The security cuff/frequency blocker of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn by a user to one or more of track fitness goals or assist with heath protocols.

4 . The security cuff/frequency blocker of claim 1 , wherein the blocking material comprises a metallic composition that is configured to attenuate at least a portion of the wireless signal.

5 . The security cuff/frequency blocker of claim 1 , wherein the outer portion comprises a flexible material that is configured to retain the security cuff/frequency blocker on an arm, behind an ear, in a pocket, or around a device, of a user.

6 . A device comprising:

an outer portion configured to be placed around an electronic device, wherein the outer portion is configured to encase a blocking material between a first surface and a second surface of the outer portion, wherein the blocking material is configured to prevent a communication of a wireless signal by the electronic device to other devices;

a flap portion that includes a windowed portion, wherein the flap portion is configured to move from an open position and a closed position, wherein the windowed portion is covered by the flap portion when the flap portion is in the closed position; and

a set of fasteners configured to couple the flap portion to the outer portion when the flap portion is in the closed position.

7 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the blocking material comprises a Faraday material.

8 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn by a user to one or more of track fitness goals or assist with heath protocols.

9 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the blocking material comprises a metallic composition that is configured to attenuate at least a portion of the wireless signal.

10 . The device of claim 6 , wherein the outer portion comprises a flexible material that is configured to retain the device on an arm, behind an ear, in a pocket, or around a device, of a user.
