Mobile device loss prevention using audio and spatial indicia
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- detecting, via a processor of a first loss-prevention configured mobile device, a second loss-prevention configured mobile device in proximity of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device;
detecting, responsive to detecting the first and the second loss-prevention configured mobile devices in proximity, spatial separation of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device beyond a configured separation distance;
detecting, at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device located beyond the configured separation distance, a voice of an owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device; and
generating an alert at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device that indicates that the owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is separated from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device.

Abstract
A processor of a first loss-prevention configured mobile device detects a second loss-prevention configured mobile device in proximity of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device. Responsive to detecting the first and the second loss-prevention configured mobile devices in proximity, spatial separation of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device beyond a configured separation distance is detected. A voice of an owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is detected at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device located beyond the configured separation distance. An alert is generated at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device that indicates that the owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is separated from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device.

8. A system, comprising:
-
an output device; and a processor of a first loss-prevention configured mobile device programmed to; detect a second loss-prevention configured mobile device in proximity of the first loss loss-prevention configured mobile device; detect, responsive to detecting the first and the second loss-prevention configured mobile devices in proximity, spatial separation of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device beyond a configured separation distance; detect via the first loss-prevention configured mobile device located beyond the configured separation distance, a voice of an owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device; and generate, using the output device, an alert at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device that indicates that the owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is separated from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer program product, comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, where the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se and where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to; detect, via a first loss-prevention configured mobile device, a second loss-prevention configured mobile device in proximity of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device; detect, responsive to detecting the first and the second loss-prevention configured mobile devices in proximity, spatial separation of the first loss-prevention configured mobile device from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device beyond a configured separation distance; detect, at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device located beyond the configured separation distance, a voice of an owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device; and generate an alert at the first loss-prevention configured mobile device that indicates that the owner of the second loss-prevention configured mobile device is separated from the second loss-prevention configured mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
