Charger Loss Prevention Adaptor

Circuitry comprising:

• a disconnection detector;
• and
• a notification module,
• said circuitry being configured for reminding a user to thereby prevent an apparatus, that is connectable for charging a portable device and is detachable from said device, from being left behind,
• said circuitry comprising:
• a disconnection detector configured for determining that disconnection of said device from said apparatus has occurred;
• and
• a notification module configured for, responsive to said determining that said disconnection has occurred, delaying commencement of said reminding.

A computer readable medium for preventing leaving behind an apparatus, said apparatus comprising a notification module and configured for connection, for charging a portable device, between a source of electricity and said device, said medium embodying a computer program having instructions executable by a processor for performing a plurality of acts, among said plurality there being the acts of:

• detecting, by said apparatus, its disconnection from said device;
• and
• issuing, via said module, a reminder for preventing said apparatus from being left behind, said apparatus being further configured for performing said issuing at least one of:
• a) after a predetermined delay, said delay having been scheduled responsive to said detecting of said disconnection;
• and
• b) responsive to said detecting of said disconnection and to distance between said apparatus and said device exceeding a predetermined threshold.

A wall outlet adaptor comprising:

• a connection status detector;
• and
• a notification module;
• said detector being configured for, while a device remains plugged in to said adaptor, sensing, from said device, that said device is about to be left behind, said sensing comprising at least one of:
• i) sensing a change of current flowing to said device;
• and
• ii) sensing engagement between said adaptor and said device,
• said adaptor being further configured for, via said module, issuing a reminder,
• said issuing being responsive to at least one of:
• a) said sensing that said device is about to be left behind;
• and
• b) determining that a portable device has exceeded a predetermined distance from said adaptor.
