Abstract
A system and method are provided for substantially preventing the loss of a first electronic device. The system and method establish a short distance wireless communications between the first electronic device and a second electronic device according to a first wireless communications protocol. The second electronic device monitors a signal level strength of the first wireless communication signals between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The system and method then provide an alert when the signal level strength of the first wireless communication signals falls below a first predetermined short distance communications signal level strength threshold.
Claims21
A method for substantially preventing the loss of a first electronic device comprising:
- establishing short distance wireless communications between the first electronic device and a second electronic device according to a first wireless communications protocol;
- monitoring a signal level strength of the first wireless communication signals between the first electronic device and the second electronic device;
- and
- providing an alert when the signal level strength of the first wireless communication signals falls below a first predetermined short distance communications signal level strength threshold.
A system for substantially preventing the loss of a first electronic device, wherein the first electronic device includes a first wireless communications transceiver, the system comprising:
- a second electronic device that includes a processor, memory, and a first wireless communications transceiver, and wherein
- the second electronic device is configured to communicate with the first electronic device according to a first wireless communications protocol, and wherein
- the second electronic device is further configured to monitor a signal level strength of the first wireless communication signals from the first electronic device, and further wherein the second electronic is configured to provide an alert when the signal strength of the first wireless communication signals falls below a first predetermined short distance communications signal level strength threshold.
