Tracking-Enabled Mobile Cases

A portable mobile phone case with integrated ultra wideband (UWB) positioning capability. The case has a UWB tag module embedded inside that provides positioning functionality. The module uses a UWB antenna and circuitry to transmit UWB signals for positioning. The UWB signals are connected to the phone's charging pins for power. The UWB module is small, lightweight, and flexible, allowing it to be integrated into the case without adding bulk or weight. This provides a convenient way to enable UWB positioning without separate devices, as the phone itself becomes a UWB tag.

Secure location tracking for mobile devices using a detachable case to verify and enhance the accuracy and trustworthiness of device location data. The case has sensors and a local communication channel to independently gather location data. It compares this with the device's reported location and generates a trust score. If the score falls below a threshold, it triggers an alert as it suspects location spoofing or manipulation.

A critical distance monitoring system for cellular phones that alerts when separated from important items. The system involves attaching RF transmitters to both the phone and the item. An alarm is triggered if the RF signal strength falls below a threshold. This can be audible, visual, or tactile. In some embodiments, both devices transmit signals and receive them to confirm separation. In others, they exchange location data from GPS-enabled transmitters.

Mobile phone holder that allows tracking a lost phone using a location tracking device inside the holder. The holder has a detachable attachment that can be connected to the phone and contains a battery and GPS module. The holder allows the GPS module to operate inside. The attachment separates from the holder via a groove. This lets the attachment be left on the phone when removed from the holder, enabling continued GPS tracking if the phone is lost.

A detachable personal safety device that can be attached to a mobile phone and secretly detached to be carried separately. It contains an undetectable silent alarm that can be activated in case of emergency. When activated, the device sends an alarm notice to a dispatching service and also initiates a tracking signal to locate the user. This allows the user to quickly and furtively detach the device from the phone and carry it separately if forced to give up the phone. The detachable design allows the user to still have the alarm and tracking functionality if they are separated from their phone.

This mobile device case has a built-in distance marker that can be used to measure distances using the mobile device's camera and measurement application. The case has a pocket or storage compartment for a removable distance marker. The marker has an image that can be detected by the mobile device's camera. When the marker image is captured in a photo or video, the measurement app calculates the distance based on the marker image size.

A system to track the location of a passport using a connected case and a smartphone. The passport case has a wireless transmitter, GPS, and lock mechanism. The smartphone also has a GPS and wireless connectivity. The case continuously transmits the passport's location to the smartphone. If the distance between the smartphone and passport exceeds a threshold, an alert is triggered. The smartphone can display the passport's location on a map. If the passport is lost, the lock can be remotely engaged from the smartphone to prevent unauthorized access.

An alarm phone case that uses GPRS positioning to track and alert if the phone is lost. The case has a main control module, GPRS module, positioning module, storage module, button module, and alarm module. The modules communicate through the control module. The positioning module acquires coordinates. The control module stores them. Pressing the button triggers the alarm. The control module sends the stored coordinates via GPRS. This lets you locate the phone if it's stolen with the case removed.

Protecting lost or stolen devices by allowing restricted guest account use that performs actions specified by the device owner. When a lost device is found by someone, they can still use it normally in guest mode. But in the background, the device can perform actions like locating the device, capturing an image of the user, displaying a message asking for return, erasing data, etc. This encourages the finder to keep using the device, which helps recovery. The guest account can also have network access enabled automatically, so the device can communicate with a server to receive notifications of unauthorized use. This can lock user accounts or force a restricted guest boot.
