Abstract

See full text

A set of mobile devices are designated as a related set of mobile devices for loss indication purposes. Machine logic rules are developed to indicate loss of a mobile device. Under these rules, a determination of probable loss (for example, theft, inadvertent leaving behind) of one of the mobile devices depends, at least in part, upon the activities and/or status of other mobile devices in the set. For example, if a first mobile device in the set is expected, under the machine logic rules, to always be near a second mobile device in the set, then a determination that the second mobile device is located far away from the first mobile device may trigger a warning, or other mitigating action, that the first mobile device has probably been lost.
