The rising prices of smartphones have made them a valuable target for thieves. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that stolen smartphones are difficult to find, putting the personal data and privacy of their owners at risk. However, the recent authorization of Meizu Technology’s anti-theft patent offers a possible solution. This technology allows users to easily find lost or stolen devices and protect their personal information.
Meizu Technology has recently received a patent for its anti-theft technology for smartphones. This patent is in response to the growing problem of stolen or lost smartphones that can be hard to find, leading to loss of personal data and privacy violations.
The patent specification describes how the technology works. When the owner of the smartphone activates the anti-theft technology, the device receives a control command. After receiving the instruction, the smartphone goes into black screen mode, which renders it inoperable. The SIM card slot is also locked, preventing others from using the device.
Additionally, the technology can enable the device’s Internet access feature and send location information to enable the owner to locate the device. This can be useful when the device is stuck in black screen mode or when the SIM card slot is not locked.
Overall, this technology offers a solution to the problem of lost or stolen smartphones, protecting user privacy and enabling lost devices to be found. The patent, granted by Meizu Technology, gives smartphone users peace of mind knowing that their device is theft-proof and can be easily found if lost or stolen.
