Always-available embedded theft reaction subsystem
A system to provide an always-on embedded anti-theft protection for a platform is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises a motion detector to detect movement of the platform, a pairing logic to pair the platform with an other device, the other device reached via a network connection, and an arming logic to arm the platform, when an arming command is received. The system further comprises, in one embodiment, a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem when the platform is armed, the potential problem differentiated based on the movement of the platform and a proximity of the other device, and a core logic component to provide logic to analyze the potential problem, and to move the platform to a suspecting state, when the potential problem indicates a theft suspicion.
1. A system comprising:
a motion detector to detect movement of a platform;
a pairing logic to pair the platform with a device, the device reached via a network connection;
an arming logic to arm the platform when an arming command is received;
a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem when the platform is armed, the potential problem differentiated based on the movement of the platform and a proximity of the device;
a core logic component to analyze the potential problem, and to move the platform to a suspecting state, when the potential problem indicates a theft suspicion, a combination of the motion detector and the risk behavior logic to enable the system to protect an in-transit platform while also permitting a user to be away from a stationary platform, wherein in the suspecting state the system to transmit movement information from the motion detector and a BSSID and RSSI sensor, the movement information to be evaluated by movement evaluator in a server to determine whether the platform is being stolen.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the arming command comprises an initial manual trigger and loss of proximity to the device.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the manual trigger to activate a proximity detector to track proximity with the paired device.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the theft suspicion comprises movement detected by the motion detector, when the platform is in the armed state.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein when the platform is in motion prior to receiving the arming command, the motion is not considered a theft suspicion.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the arming command comprises a detection of loss of proximity to the device.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
communication logic to send an alert to the device when the proximity between the platform and the other device is lost.
8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
communication logic to send an alert to the device when the theft suspicion is detected.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device automatically sounds an alert for the user when the proximity to the platform is lost.
10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a disarming logic to disarm the platform when the proximity to the device is reacquired.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device is configured to not sound an alarm, when the user is away from the stationary platform.
12. A system comprising:
a pairing logic to pair a platform with another device;
an arming logic to arm the platform when proximity with the other device is lost;
a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem when the platform is armed, the potential problem differentiated based on the movement of the platform and a proximity of the other device;
a core logic component to provide logic to analyze the potential problem, and to move the platform to a suspecting state, when the potential problem indicates a theft suspicion, a combination of a motion detector and the risk behavior logic to enable the system to protect an in-transit platform while permitting a user to be away from a stationary platform, wherein in the suspecting state the system to transmit movement information from the motion detector and a BSSID and RSSI sensor, the movement information to be evaluated by movement evaluator in a server to determine whether the platform is being stolen.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the theft suspicion comprises movement detected by the motion detector, when the proximity with the other device is lost.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein when the platform is in motion prior to receiving an arming command, the motion is not considered a theft suspicion.
15. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
communication logic to send an alert to the other device when the proximity between the platform and the other device is lost.
16. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
communication logic to send an alert when the theft suspicion is detected.
17. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
a disarming logic to disarm the platform when the proximity to the other device is reacquired.
18. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
an encrypting logic to protect the platform when proximity with the other device is lost.
19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the other device is configured to automatically sounds an alarm when the proximity is lost.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the other device is configured to not sound an alarm, when the user walks away from the stationary platform.
