Description:

It is in the invention by three different device versions described with: standard version, premium version and premium version basically for mobile phones, ie smart and business phone, or for Tablet PC.

Standard version:

In the standard version (Fig. 1) is a transmitting device (e) and a receiving device (a), which communicate unilaterally by means of radio frequencies. The transmitter (s) can be attached or glued to any device or object (f). The receiving device (a) may be attached to garments such as staples (i) or the like on garments such as e.g. Shirt, sweater etc. are attached. Also on accessories such as handbag, belt, watch strap or just in your pocket. The transmitter is small, thin and equipped with a rechargeable flat battery.

The receiver (on person) should not be larger than 3 x 3 cm and about 0.5 cm high. It is equipped with the following functions: On / Off switch (c), volume control (d), variable distance setting for audible alarm, e.g. 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m.

Premium version:

In the premium version (Fig. 2) there are two devices, both of which are simultaneously transmitting and receiving devices that communicate with each other, but in both directions by means of radio frequencies concurrently. The receiving device may be attached to a garment (i) by any suitable means, or by other common methods, such as garments, e.g. Shirt, sweater, trouser belt, etc. attached, or simply put in the trouser pocket. Also on accessories such as handbag, bracelet (watch), etc. The transmitter (on the respective item) is small, thin and is equipped with a flat battery.

The premium version is equipped with the following functions: On / Off switch (c) with volume control (d). Variable distance setting for audible or visual alarm or both simultaneously e.g. from 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m. Button to turn on the transmitter at the same time trigger an audible or visual alarm (g) or both at the same time.

Premium version "Hightech", specific for Smartphone (Only possible in installation by the manufacturer!)

In the premium version "high-tech" (Fig. 6) basically for smart and business phones, there are two devices which both communicate as transmitting as well as receiving devices with each other by means of radio frequencies. Wherein the actual receiving device (I) (on person) is additionally equipped with an integrated chip which stores the data e.g. of the smart or business phone continuously via Bluetooth connection on the receiving device stores. In the event of loss or, in particular, if theft is noticed immediately, by pressing a button on the receiving device (I) (on person), the data can be stored e.g. deleted on the smartphone (j), or the smartphone (j) locked. Provided the smartphone (j) is still within reach. The receiving device (I) may be attached to garments, such as garments, or other common methods. Shirt, sweater, trouser belt, etc. attached, or simply put in the trouser pocket. Also on accessories such as handbag, wristband (watch), etc. The battery of the receiver (I) can be charged using a conventional charger, or alternatively with USB connection, as «Y» cable connection (k).

The premium version "Hightech" is equipped with the following functions: On / Off switch (c) with volume control (d). Variable distance setting for audible or visual alarm, or both, e.g. from 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m. Switch vice versa also e.g. on the smartphone an audible or visual alarm, or both trigger. Button with function to lock the smartphone (or other, electronic data device) or to delete the data on the smartphone (or other, electronic data device).

Remarks:

[0014] Basically, this can be used instead of the radio frequency, the GPS technology. Depending on the design, fashionable and trend-conscious versions of the respective issue can be developed and created for young people, women, men, etc.

Solution:

The object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

Advantages:

Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims. The advantage of the invention is that, first, the field of application can be selected depending on the location and situation by the variable distance setting. For example, with the short distance (2 m) in the car, the middle and long distance in the office or at home. This on different, important and daily in use objects. Secondly, the forgotten or lost object can be found optically or acoustically by means of a control panel. Another very important advantage is that the data can be deleted or the smartphone can be locked in the premium "high-tech" edition on the smartphone. This is urgently needed in today's valuable and equipped with very important data and information Smartphone.
