  • Methods and devices enabling displays of electronic devices based on separation thereof
    Patent number: 6594762
    Abstract: An electronic device and a remote device cooperate to enable a display of an electronic device when a distance between the electronic device and the remote device is less than a transmit range and to disable the display when the distance is greater than the transmit range. Disabling the display of the electronic device may improve the security of data on display. Moreover, the disabling and enabling of the display may be carried out automatically, thereby possibly relieving the authorized user from logging out or powering-off the electronic device to secure the display. When the authorized user carries the remote device, the display may be enabled and disabled as the user moves relative to the electronic device.
