Claims20
A system for protecting data stored on a radio frequency identification (RFID) device, the system comprising:
- a data protection device configured to prevent reading of data associated with the RFID device;
- and
- a holder having a pocket including a biasing member and a sensor, the holder configured to:
- bias the RFID device by the biasing member against the sensor;
- cause the sensor to transmit an alert signal when the RFID device is removed from the holder;
- and
- cause the data protection device to electronically tag an RFID reader in response to transmission of the alert signal.
A method for protecting data stored on a radio frequency identification (RFID) device, the method comprising:
- biasing the RFID device by a biasing member against a sensor;
- causing the sensor to transmit an alert signal when the RFID device is removed from a holder;
- and
- causing a data protection device to electronically tag an RFID reader in response to transmission of the alert signal.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for protecting personal data stored on a radio frequency identification (RFID) device, the method comprising:
- biasing the RFID device by a biasing member against a sensor;
- causing the sensor to transmit an alert signal when the RFID device is removed from a holder;
- and
- causing a data protection device to electronically tag an RFID reader in response to transmission of the alert signal.
