With the rapid development of mobile communication technologies, the number of global mobile users has grown rapidly. By the end of 2008, the number of mobile users worldwide has reached 3.8 billion. At the same time, mobile phone functions are becoming more and more diverse, and functions such as digital cameras, MP3s, and color screens are essential functions for mid- to high-end phones. Mobile phones have become an important item for individuals to carry around. Therefore, once the mobile phone is lost, in addition to causing inconvenience to the user and loss of property, the inability to retrieve the data stored on the mobile phone is another problem. Therefore, how to make good use of technology and assist in the recovery of lost mobile phones will be an important issue.

Currently, the Equipment Identity Register (EIR) function of the mobile telecommunication network can record the user's mobile phone identification code. If the user's mobile phone is lost, the telecommunication operator can be notified to add the device identification code of the mobile phone to the EIR blacklist. Such a mobile telecommunications network will be able to refuse the use of the mobile phone service accordingly. However, this prior art lacks a mechanism to assist in the search for lost handsets and must be passively manually notified by the user to initiate the mechanism. At the same time, if the occupant uses other mobile communication networks or roams abroad, the EIR will not be set up due to the lack of EIR.

In view of this, the present invention provides an anti-theft device and method for applying a mobile communication terminal device, in particular, using a user identification code on a client device, such as a SIM in GSM or a USIM in UMTS, to make an action with an antitheft device.
