Abstract
A computer system includes circuitry for detecting whether it becomes disconnected from an object, which may include an AC power source. In response to the computer system becoming disconnected from the object, it determines whether the disconnection is authorized, which may include determining whether a valid password has been output to the computer system. In response to the disconnection being unauthorized, an alarm action is initiated.
Claims51
A computer system, comprising:
- circuitry for:
- detecting whether the computer system becomes disconnected from an object;
- in response to the computer system becoming disconnected from the object, determining whether the disconnection is authorized;
- and
- in response to the disconnection being unauthorized, initiating an alarm action.
2 more elements
A computer system, comprising:
- circuitry for:
- detecting whether the computer system becomes disconnected from an alternating current (“AC”) power source;

- a computer program processable by a computer system for causing the computer system to:
- detect whether the computer system becomes disconnected from an object;
- in response to the computer system becoming disconnected from the object, determine whether the disconnection is authorized;
- and
- in response to the disconnection being unauthorized, initiate an alarm action;
- and
- apparatus from which the computer program is accessible by the computer system.
4 more elements
A method performed by a computer system, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting the computer system to an object;
- detecting whether the computer system becomes disconnected from the object;
- in response to the computer system becoming disconnected from the object, determining whether the disconnection is authorized;
