Apple推出手機防盜保護的技術

從USPTO公告的專利早期公開資料顯示Apple正在申請一種辨識未獲授權電子裝置使用者的系統與方法的專利，想要防止iPhone與iPod使用者「越獄」。
該專利的安全措施，可自動防範裝置遭竊賊或其他未獲授權者使用，若辨識「顯示可疑行為的特定活動」，即採取「安全措施」對裝置的功能設限，一旦察覺裝置遭到盜用，該項專利技術就會自動「限制存取某些應用功能、也可能限制存取敏感資訊，並且從裝置上刪除敏感資訊」。

Title : SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING UNAUTHORIZED USERS OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Filing Date : 2009.2.19.
Application Date : 2010.8.19.
Abstract :
This is generally directed to identifying unauthorized users of an electronic device. In some embodiments, an unauthorized user of the electronic device can be detected by identifying particular activities that may indicate suspicious behavior. In some embodiments, an unauthorized user can be detected by comparing the identity of the current user to the identity of the owner of the electronic device. When an unauthorized user is detected, various safety measures can be taken. For example, information related to the identity of the unauthorized user, the unauthorized user's operation of the electronic device, or the current location of the electronic device can be gathered. As another example, functions of the electronic device can be restricted. In some embodiments, the owner of the electronic device can be notified of the unauthorized user by sending an alert notification through any suitable medium, such as, for example, a voice mail, e-mail, or text message.
