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 method of enforcing a cellular connection policy for a mobile device includes receiving, by a processor of an enterprise mobility management (EMM) server computer, an instruction to enforce compliance with the cellular connection policy, the instruction being sent from a compliance server computer, and, in response to the received instruction, sending, by the processor, an EMM command to a device policy controller on the mobile device. The EMM command configures the device policy controller to control the mobile device to enforce compliance with the cellular connection policy.

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: 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.

Abstract: An electronic device configured for retail display includes an antenna, a memory in which security monitoring instructions are stored, and a processor configured to execute the security monitoring instructions to monitor a profile of wireless beacon devices detected via the antenna. The processor is further configured via the execution of the security monitoring instructions to, upon detection of a profile of wireless beacon devices that exceeds a threshold, initiate a security measure for the electronic device.

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.
