Device management system
First Claim
1. A device management system comprising:
- memory storing usage rules specifying a plurality of associations between a plurality of storage compartments including a storage compartment and a plurality of managed devices including a managed device, the plurality of associations including an association between the storage compartment and the managed device;
an interface;
at least one processor coupled to the memory and the interface; and
a control component executable by the at least one processor and configured to;
determine, via the interface at a predetermined time, whether a connection between the managed device and the device management system exists while the managed device is stored within the storage compartment;
receive usage data from the managed device via the interface;
determine whether the usage data complies with the usage rules by comparing the usage data with the usage rules;
generate a notification in response to determining that the connection did not exist at the predetermined time and that the usage data does not comply with the usage rules; and
transmit, in response to determining that the connection did not exist at the predetermined time, a request to the managed device to restrict at least one function of the managed device.

Abstract
Systems and methods of device management are disclosed. Aspects relate to systems and methods that may be implemented to control usage of one or more devices. In one embodiment, a device management system includes a memory, an interface, at least one processor coupled to the memory and the interface, and a control component executable by the at least one processor and configured to determine, at a predetermined time, whether a connection exists between a managed device and the device management system via the interface, generate, in response to determining that the connection did not exist at the predetermined time, a notification indicating that the connection does not exist, and transmit, in response to determining that the connection did not exist at the predetermined time, a request to the managed device to restrict at least one function of the managed device.
