Patent number: 9336393Abstract: An electronic device includes a security system which provides for protection of designated files stored on an electronic device. For example, an electronic device may receive user input selecting a file for protection processing. The user input may select the file for encryption and automatic decryption under certain predetermined conditions and/or for automatic saving to a remote storage device after the device has been reported stolen, for instance. After receiving the user input selecting the file for protection processing, the electronic device may automatically receive theft information from a remote server, wherein the theft information indicates whether the electronic device has been reported stolen. After determining whether the electronic device has been reported stolen, the electronic device may automatically process the selected file according to the selected protection processing, wherein the processing is contingent on whether the electronic device has been reported stolen.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2010Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Softex IncorporatedInventors: Apurva M. Bhansali, Gayathri Krishnamurthy Iyer, Mehul R. Patel, Rayesh K. Raikar, Kamal M. Dhanani, Ranjit Kapila, Elza A. Varghese

Patent number: 8241368Abstract: In a method for securing and disabling an electronic device, the electronic device automatically executes a basic input/output system (BIOS) component of a security and tracking service during boot up. The BIOS component automatically determines whether an application component of the security and tracking service has requested disabling of the electronic device. In response to a determination that the application component has requested disabling of the electronic device, the BIOS component automatically displays system information and unlock key. The BIOS component also automatically prompts a user of the electronic device to enter an activation password to re-enable the electronic device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Softex IncorporatedInventors: Apurva M. Bhansali, Manoj K.
