Abstract: A system for security monitoring of an electronic device on retail display includes a transmitter configured to transmit a signal, a sensor configured for attachment to the electronic device, the sensor being configured to generate a security event notification based on whether the signal is detected by the sensor, and an alarm controller configured to generate a plurality of alarms upon receipt of the security event notification from the sensor, the plurality of alarms including an audible alarm and a message alarm. The alarm controller is further configured to send the message alarm to initiate a user interface lock on the electronic device in response to the message alarm. The alarm controller is configured to operate in a silent mode in which the audible alarm is not generated upon receipt of the security event notification.

Abstract: An anti-sweep bar for mounting relative to a shelf fixture includes a pair of brackets configured to attach to the shelf fixture and a corresponding pair of side bars, each side bar connected to each bracket and extending outwardly from the shelf fixture. A crossbar extends between the pair of side bars and is configured to block at least a portion of a shelf on the shelf fixture in a closed position and further configured to move into an open position permitting unblocked access to the shelf.

Abstract: A theft deterrent system for mounting on a retail shelf that includes a receiver to attach to the retail shelf and a plurality of gates positioned along the receiver. Each gate of the plurality of gates is arranged to swing open from the receiver. A plurality of blockers is arranged in a slidable manner along the receiver. Each blocker provides audible feedback as it slides relative to the receiver. Each blocker prevents a respective underlying gate to swing open from the receiver.

Abstract: A peg hook includes a mount and a rod extending from the mount. A tip is pivotally mounted to a distal end of the rod, the tip having a generally straight end and an arcuate body, wherein the tip and the rod each include a flat portion that are pinned to each other to permit the tip to rotate between an extended position and a retracted position.

Abstract: A security device for a retail store display and method of use. The security device includes a securing element moveable, relative the retail store surface, from a first position to a second position to allow customer access to a product. An electromagnetic or electromagnetic lock is configured to lock the securing element in the first position, to further limit the customer access afforded by the securing element. The lockdown provided by the secondary lockdown mechanism can be used for additional protection during times of need, such as after hours or if employees are not on the sales floor.

Abstract: An apparatus for securely displaying a product includes a cradle assembly including a base plate and a plurality of plates slidably engaged with the base plate, each plate of the plurality of plates including an arm to engage a respective side of the product, and a post supporting the cradle assembly, the post including first and second sections, one of the first and second sections being fixedly connected to the base plate. The first section includes a projection, and the second section includes a guide in which the projection is disposed to control rotation of the first and second sections relative to one another and re-orient the cradle assembly.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a device on retail display includes receiving, by a processor of a server computer, a message from the device indicative of whether security instructions stored in a memory of the device are being executed on the device, determining, by the processor, whether time elapsed since the message was received exceeds a threshold, and, if the time elapsed exceeds the threshold, sending, by the processor, a command to automatically cause the device to enter into a locked state.

Abstract: An electronic device configured for retail display includes a persistent memory on which boot instructions are stored, a storage device on which security monitoring instructions are stored, and a processor configured to execute the boot instructions during a boot sequence to initiate execution of the security monitoring instructions. The processor is further configured, via the execution of the security monitoring instructions, to monitor the retail display of the electronic device for a security trigger event and, upon detection of the trigger event, lock a user interface of the electronic device.

Abstract: A product dispensing system includes a housing having a forward viewing window and a lower output. Two or more trays are positioned within the housing, each tray of the trays accommodating a plurality of products, wherein each tray includes a self-contained motor and track configured to move the products responsive to a user action. The system additionally includes a selector for moving an indicator laterally between the two or more trays and a knob spaced apart from the selector for activating the motor to move the products forward and drop a product into the output.

The system additionally includes a selector for moving an indicator laterally between the two or more trays and a knob spaced apart from the selector for activating the motor to move the products forward and drop a single product into the output tray.

Abstract: A store monitoring system and method for reducing theft in a retail environment. The monitoring system includes a central control unit including a user interface and a plurality of configurable anti-theft devices connected with respect to the central control unit. The user interface allows the configurable anti-theft devices to be monitored, as well as adding, removing, moving, changing, and/or modifying devices. In the user interface, the anti-theft devices can be identified by location within the retail environment, or by the associated retail product.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method secures, attaches and/or detaches a device to a fixture. A post with an interior secures a retractable reel. The retractable reel has a cable that attaches, connects and/or secures the device to the fixture. The cable extends from the retractable reel and/or extends through the post. A head unit attaches to the device and has a fastening mechanism for connecting and/or for disconnecting the cable to the device. The post has a recession for receiving a head unit and/or for aligning the head unit and/or the device. A fastener and/or an adhesive connects, secures and/or attaches the device to the head unit. A key disconnects the cable from the head unit.

Abstract: A method of establishing security monitoring functionality on a device on retail display includes obtaining, by a processor of a server computer, a mobile device management (MDM) startup message from the device, determining, by the processor, whether the device is enrolled for MDM supervision, and if the device is enrolled for the MDM supervision, downloading, by the processor to the device, configuration data to support the MDM supervision and implementation of the security monitoring functionality.
