Abstract
An anti-theft module for a battery-operated electric machine tool includes at least a first data interface configured to transmit data to an external device. The anti-theft module also includes a position determination unit configured to determine a geographical position of the anti-theft module. The anti-theft module is configured to be installable as an adapter between a rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and a replaceable battery.
Claims16
An anti-theft module for a battery-operated electric machine tool, comprising:
- a first data interface configured to transmit data to an external device;
- and
- a position determination unit configured to determine a geographical position of the anti-theft module,
- wherein the anti-theft module is configured to be installable as an adapter between a rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and a replaceable battery, and
- further comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a change in state of the anti-theft module and further configured to initiate data transmission to the external device when the change in state of the anti-theft module is detected;
- and
- a sensor unit configured to detect a disconnection of the anti-theft module from the rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and/or the replaceable battery.
An anti-theft module for a battery-operated electric machine tool, comprising:
- a first data interface configured to transmit data to an external device;
- and
- a position determination unit configured to determine a geographical position of the anti-theft module,
- wherein the anti-theft module is configured to be installable as an adapter between a rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and a replaceable battery, and further comprising:
- a mechanical safety device configured to protect from unauthorized removal of the anti-theft module from at least one of (i) the rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and (ii) the replaceable battery;
- and
- a sensor unit configured to detect a disconnection of the anti-theft module from the rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and/or the replaceable battery.
