Patent

CA 2682879

An electronic device prior to entering a distribution channel is equipped with a Loss Prevention Client which permits limited use of the device until correct authentication is provided by a legitimate purchaser. By permitting limited use before authentication, the device remains both useful to a legitimate purchaser and valuable to a thief. While allowing operation in the possession of a thief, options can be provided to permit tracking of the device or to allow proper purchase of the device.

Avant son entrée dans un canal de distribution, un dispositif électronique est équipé d'un client de protection contre la perte (LPC: Loss Prevention Client), lequel autorise une utilisation limitée du dispositif jusqu'à ce qu'une authentification correcte soit fournie par un acheteur légitime. En permettant une utilisation limitée avant l'authentification, ce dispositif reste à la fois utile pour l'acheteur légitime et intéressant pour un voleur. Bien que l'utilisation par un voleur soit possible, des options sont prévues pour permettre la localisation du dispositif, ou pour permettre un achat régulier du dispositif.
