Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for controlling operation of electronic devices. A power interrupt type device may facilitate controlling operation of the electronic device. Additionally, a controllable security device may be communicatively coupled to the power interrupt type device.

Claims (22)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a power interrupt device; and

a controllable security device communicatively coupled to the power interrupt device.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power interrupt device comprises a timed power interrupt device.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power interrupt device comprises a power interrupt device having one or more visual indicators of a time status.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein visual indicators comprises one or more LEDs.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power interrupt device comprises a power interrupt device having a wireless controller.

6 . The appraratus of claim 1 , wherein the controllable security device comprises a controllable security device having a wireless controller.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the power interrupt device comprises a power interrupt device having a infrared receiver.
