SECURE GEO-LOCATION OF A COMPUTING RESOURCE

摘要

Embodiments of systems and methods for geo-location of a computing resource are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a first computing device determines a geographical location of the first device. The first device accesses an identifier of a second computing device and associates the location with the second device. The first device transmits a notification of the location being associated with the second device to the second device. In response to receiving the notification, the second device periodically transmits a message to the first device. The second device may detect a disconnection of a wired connection coupling the second device with an external system. In response to the detection, the second device ceases the periodic transmission of the message. The first device dissociates the location from the second device based on an elapsed time period since reception of a most recent one of the messages exceeding a predetermined time period.

主权项

1. A computing device comprising:
a communication interface to receive a notification of a geographical location being associated with the computing device from a second computing device; and control circuitry to:
transmit periodically to the second computing device a message in response to receiving the notification of the geographical location being associated with the computing device;detect a disconnection of a wired connection between the computing device and an external system; andcease the periodic transmission of the message in response to the detection of the disconnection of the wired connection.
