Abstract
According to various embodiments, a first electronic device may be configured to communicate wirelessly with a second electronic device. If the devices become separated, then various steps may be taken to avoid or to mitigate the loss of one of the devices.
Claims4
A device comprising:
- a memory, in which the memory stores first instructions and first data;
- and
- a processor electronically coupled to the memory,
- in which the processor is operable to receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to:
- present to a user a set of options for configuration;
- receive from the user a selection of a first option for configuring a triggering condition;
- receive from the user a selection of a second option for configuring a responsive action;
- receive from the user a selection of a third option for configuring a means of communication between the device and a second device;
- communicate with the second device in accordance with the third option;
- determine that the triggering condition has occurred
- take, in response to the triggering condition, the responsive action;
- determine that the device is inside a first geographic region;
- cause the device to communicate at a first interval with the second device while the device is within the first geographic region;
- determine that the device is inside a second geographic region;
- and
- cause the device to communicate at a second interval with the second device while the device is within the second geographic region,
- in which the second interval is shorter than the first interval.

A device comprising:
- a memory, in which the memory stores first instructions and first data, second data, third data, and fourth data;
- and
- a processor electronically coupled to the memory,
- in which the processor is operable to receive first instructions from the memory and execute the first instructions to:

- receive from the user a selection of a third option for configuring a means of communication between the device and a second device;
- communicate with the second device in accordance with the third option;
- determine that the triggering condition has occurred;
- and
- take, in response to the triggering condition, the responsive action, wherein the responsive action includes:
- encrypting the first data;
- initiating password protection for the second data;
- deleting the third data;
- and
- coping the fourth data to the second device.
