1. A system for the automatic prevention of the loss of mobile communication devices by an owner, the system comprising:

  • a mobile device that includes a processor and memory;

    Automatic Loss Prevention Alert Software (“

    ALPAS”

    ) installed on the mobile device;

    a device which functions as an Automatic Loss Prevention Alert Trigger (“

    ALPAT”

    );

    an owner-defined distance after which alarms will activate on either the mobile device, the ALPAT or both;

    the ALPAS having the ability to detect when the ALPAT has moved away from the mobile device at the owner-defined distance;

    the ALPAS having the ability to activate an alarm that will flash the screen of the mobile device brightly on and off and play a pre-recorded audio message repeatedly;

    the ALPAT having the ability to play audio at a fixed decibel;

    wherein the mobile device can potentially be any computing device, including a smartphone, a tablet or a wearable electronic device;

    wherein only the owner of the mobile device can deactivate the alert by utilizing a unique password, or fingerprint, or other electronic id that is unique to the owner;

    wherein the ALPAT can be a stand-alone small device, or can be an app on a wearable device;

    wherein the audio played in the event of an alarm on either the mobile device with the ALPAS or theALPAT can be customized by the owner;

    the ALPAS configured to have the option to enter an “

    at home safe zone”

    mode;

    the ALPAS configured to have the option to turn on a “

    sync to activate”

    option;

    in the “

    at home safe zone”

    mode, the ALPAS is configured to deactivate so that if the ALPAT is more than the owner-defined distance away from the mobile device with ALPAS, then ALPAS will not initiate an alarm;

    if the ALPAT is taken more than the owner-defined distance away from the mobile device, and then returns to within the owner-defined distance from the mobile device, the ALPAS is configured to reactivate if the “

    sync-to-activate”

    option is turned on in the ALPAS.
