Abstract

Anti-theft device for an electronics apparatus, comprising locating means (2) for determining an actual location, storage means (3) for storing a permissible location, and processing means (1) connected to the locating means and storage means. The processing means (1) are arranged to retrieve the actual location from the locating means (2), and to compare the actual location against the permissible location. The processing means (1) are further arranged to disable at least part of a functionality of the electronics apparatus if the actual location is more than a predetermined distance from the permissible location. The processing means (1) are further arranged to enter a standby mode in which the electronics apparatus is never disabled, and the standby mode may be entered for a predetermined time period.

Claims (11)

1. Anti-theft device for an electronics apparatus, comprising:
-locating means (2) for determining an actual location;

-storage means (3) for storing a permissible location;

-processing means (1) connected to the locating means and storage means, in which the processing means (1) are arranged to retrieve the actual location from the locating means (2), to compare the actual location against the permissible location, and to disable at least part of a functionality of the electronics apparatus if the actual location is more than a predetermined distance from the permissible location, characterized in that the processing means (1) are further arranged to enter a standby mode in which the electronics apparatus is never disabled, and in that the standby mode is entered for a predetermined time period.
2. Anti theft device according to claim 1, in which the processing means (1) are arranged to disable the at least part of the functionality of the electronic apparatus by disconnecting a power supply to at least a part of the electronics apparatus.
3. Anti theft device according to claim 1 or 2, in which the processing means (1) are further arranged to perform retrieving, comparing and/or disabling only once, e.g. at power up of the electronics apparatus.
4. Anti theft device according to claim 1, 2 or 3, in which the processing means (1) are arranged to retrieve the actual location at a first power up of the electronics apparatus, and store the retrieved actual location as the permissible location.
5. Anti-theft device according to one of the proceeding claims, in which the locating means (2) comprise a satellite based positioning system for determining the actual location.
6. Anti-theft device according to one of the proceeding claims, in which the permissible location is represented by a postal zip code.
7. Anti theft device according to claim 1, in which the standby mode is entered only after receiving a unique code.
8. Anti-theft device according to one of the proceeding claims, further comprising a user interface (4) connected to the processing means (1).
9. Anti-theft device according to claim 8, in which the user interface (4) comprises means arranged for converting a voice signal to an electrical signal and the processing means (1) are further arranged for processing the electrical signal .
10. Anti theft device according to one of the proceeding claims, further comprising a display (6) connected to processing means (1), the processing means (1) being further arranged for displaying the permissible locations when the actual location is not equal to the permissible location.
11. Anti theft device according to one of the proceeding claims, further comprising a transmitter (6a) connected to the processing means (1), in which the transmitter (6a) is arranged to transmit a signal when the actual location is more than the predetermined distance from the permissible location.
