Abstract

See full text

An electronic device monitoring system uses two different types of servers to communicate with electronic devices of users. One type of server, which may be a rapid contact server, is optimized or configured for relatively short and frequent communications with the electronic devices. The other type of server is optimized or configured for less frequent but (typically) longer communications with the electronic devices. In some embodiments, the electronic devices are configured to communicate relatively frequently (e.g., every few minutes) with the rapid contact server. When an electronic device is reported as lost or stolen, the rapid contact server may instruct the electronic device to contact the other type of server to obtain security-related instructions.
