Systems, apparatus, and methods for controlling an operating state of an electronic apparatus to a lock state

Abstract

Systems, apparatus, and methods that control an operating state of an electronic apparatus to a lock state are disclosed. One system includes a signal strength detection unit that detects a signal strength from an external device with which communication is connected wirelessly to an electronic apparatus and an operation control unit that controls an operating state of the electronic apparatus to a lock state based on a comparison between an initial signal strength and a currently detected signal strength. Apparatus and methods include a processor of an information handling device and a memory configured to store code executable by the processor to detect a signal strength from an external device with which communication is connected wirelessly to the information handling device and control an operating state of the information handling device to a lock state based on a comparison between an initial signal strength and a currently detected signal strength.
