Security Lock for Smartphones

摘要

A protective case for a smartphone has a planar portion of the length and width of the smartphone, an upper portion shaped to capture a smartphone leaving a touchcreen of unobstructed, the upper portion enabled to fasten to the planar portion, an opening into the planar portion, the opening having an axis at right angles to the plane of the planar portion on a side opposite the upper portion, pairing circuitry enclosed in the protective case for wirelessly pairing with the smartphone, a power source enclosed in the planar portion for powering circuitry and mechanisms in the protective case, a locking mechanism in the planar portion proximate the opening, enabled to engage to an anchor pin inserted into the opening, and circuitry enabled to accept an unlock command via wireless communication from a smartphone executing a security application, the command causing the locking mechanism to release from an anchor pin.

主权项

1. A protective case for a smartphone, comprising:
a planar portion of about the length and width of the smartphone; an upper portion shaped to capture the smartphone around a periphery, leaving a touchcreen of the smartphone unobstructed, the upper portion enabled to fasten securely to the planar portion, securely capturing the smartphone; an opening into the planar portion, the opening having an axis at right angles to the plane of the planar portion on a side opposite the upper portion; pairing circuitry enclosed in the protective case for wirelessly pairing with the smartphone; a power source enclosed in the planar portion for powering circuitry and mechanisms in the protective case; a locking mechanism implemented in the planar portion proximate the opening, enabled to engage to an anchor pin inserted into the opening; and circuitry enabled to accept an unlock command via wireless communication from a smartphone executing a security application, the command causing the locking mechanism to release from an anchor pin.
