View Patent ↗According to various embodiments, a first electronic device may be configured to communicate wirelessly with a second electronic device. If the devices become separated, then various steps may be taken to avoid or to mitigate the loss of one of the devices.
1. A device comprising:
a memory, in which the memory stores first instructions and first data; and
a processor electronically coupled to the memory,
in which the processor is operable to receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to:
present to a user a set of options for configuration;
receive from the user a selection of a first option for configuring a triggering condition;
receive from the user a selection of a second option for configuring a responsive action;
receive from the user a selection of a third option for configuring a means of communication between the device and a second device;
communicate with the second device in accordance with the third option;
determine that the triggering condition has occurred
take, in response to the triggering condition, the responsive action;
determine that the device is inside a first geographic region;
cause the device to communicate at a first interval with the second device while the device is within the first geographic region;
determine that the device is inside a second geographic region; and
cause the device to communicate at a second interval with the second device while the device is within the second geographic region,
in which the second interval is shorter than the first interval.
2. A device comprising:
a memory, in which the memory stores first instructions and first data, second data, third data, and fourth data; and
a processor electronically coupled to the memory,
in which the processor is operable to receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to:
present to a user a set of options for configuration;
receive from the user a selection of a first option for configuring a triggering condition;
receive from the user a selection of a second option for configuring a responsive action;
receive from the user a selection of a third option for configuring a means of communication between the device and a second device;
communicate with the second device in accordance with the third option;
determine that the triggering condition has occurred; and
take, in response to the triggering condition, the responsive action, wherein the responsive action includes:
encrypting the first data;
initiating password protection for the second data;
deleting the third data; and
coping the fourth data to the second device.
3. A device comprising:
a memory, in which the memory stores first instructions and first data; and
a processor electronically coupled to the memory,
in which the processor is operable to receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to:
present to a user a set of options for configuration;
receive from the user a selection of a first option for configuring a triggering condition;
receive from the user a selection of a second option for configuring a responsive action;
receive from the user a selection of a third option for configuring a means of communication between the device and a second device;
communicate with the second device in accordance with the third option;
determine that the triggering condition has occurred;
receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to receive an advanced indication of a particular second device;
take, in response to the triggering condition, the responsive action, wherein the responsive action includes:
syncing with the second device such that both the device and the second device have current copies of the data.
4. A device comprising:
a memory, in which the memory stores first instructions and first data; and
a processor electronically coupled to the memory,
in which the processor is operable to receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to:
present to a user a set of options for configuration;
receive from the user a selection of a first option for configuring a means of communication between the device and a second device;
receive from the user a selection of a second option for configuring a triggering condition, in which the triggering condition is a condition where the second device is moving away from the device at greater than a threshold speed;
receive from the user a selection of a third option for configuring a responsive action;
communicate with the second device in accordance with the first option;
determine that the triggering condition has occurred; and
take, in response to the triggering condition, the responsive action.
