PROXIMITY DETECTION ALARM FOR AN INDUCTIVELY CHARGED MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising:
- at least one coil to provide inductive charging for a mobile computing device;
a processor to control the inductive charging of the mobile computing device;
a proximity sensor operatively connected to the processor, the proximity sensor to determine that the mobile computing device is proximate to the computer system; and
an alarm logic module to activate an alarm when the mobile computing device is no longer proximate to the computer system.

Abstract
Illustrated is a system and method to activate an alarm where a mobile computing device is no longer proximate to a docking station that provides inductive charging and data transfer capabilities for the mobile computing device. The computer system includes at least one coil to provide inductive charging for a mobile computing device. Further, the computer system includes a processor to control the inductive charging of the mobile computing device. Additionally, the computer system includes a proximity sensor operatively connected to the processor, the proximity sensor to determine that the mobile computing device is proximate to the computer system. Moreover, the computer system includes an alarm logic module to activate an alarm when the mobile computing device is no longer proximate to the computer system.
