ALWAYS-AVAILABLE EMBEDDED THEFT REACTION SUBSYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system to provide an always-on embedded anti-theft protection for a platform, the system comprising:
- an arming logic to move the platform to an armed mode when receiving an arming command;
a disarming logic to move the platform to an unarmed mode when receiving a disarming command, the disarming logic active while the platform is in a low power state;
a power transition logic to move the system from the low power state to an ON state in response to a user request, the power transition logic to present a log-in screen when the platform is armed, and to move the platform to the ON state without a log-in screen when the platform is unarmed.
