Abstract

See full text

A system includes an electrical device comprising a power supply and circuitry and a supplemental device integrated into the electrical device. The supplemental device includes a tracker chip to receive current location data of the electrical device. The supplemental device also includes a switch with one side connected to the power supply and another side connected to the circuitry of the electrical device. The supplemental device also includes a processor and a memory chip including a stored predetermined location of the electrical device. The predetermined location is input in an encrypted format into a secure encoding chip. The processor is configured to receive the current location data from the tracker chip, compare the current location data with the predetermination location, and turn off the switch to disconnect the power supply from the circuitry if the current location data does not correspond to the predetermined location.
