Abstract
An anti-theft method for a computer system including a detection module, a photographing module and a controlling module is disclosed. The anti-theft method includes when the computer system is off, the detection module determines whether a predetermined event occurs for generating a detection signal; the controlling module initiates the computer system according to the detection signal, such that the computer system operates a basic input/output system (BIOS); and when the computer system operates the BIOS, an anti-theft operation is initiated to control the photographing module for capturing a digital information.
Claims18
An anti-theft method for a computer system comprising a detection module, a photographing module and a controlling module, the anti-theft method comprising:
- when the computer system is off, the detection module determines whether a predetermined event occurs for generating a detection signal;
- the controlling module initiates the computer system according to the detection signal, such that the computer system operates a basic input/output system (BIOS);
- and
- when the computer system operates the BIOS, an anti-theft operation is initiated to control the photographing module for capturing a digital information.
A computer system comprising:
- a detection module;
- a photographing module;
- a controlling module;
- a central processing unit coupled to the detection module, the photographing module and the controlling module;
- and
- a basic input/output system (BIOS) read-only memory (ROM) coupled to the central processing unit for storing a programming code, and the programming code is utilized to instruct the central processing unit for processing an anti-theft method comprising:
- when the computer system is off, the detection module determines whether a predetermined event occurs for generating a detection signal;
- the controlling module initiates the computer system according to the detection signal, such that the computer system operates a basic input/output system (BIOS);
- and
- when the computer system operates the BIOS, an anti-theft operation is initiated to control the photographing module for capturing a digital information.
