Detailed Description

The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings, and it should be noted that the embodiments are only specific illustrations of the present invention, and should not be construed as limitations of the present invention.

The technical terms related to the present invention are first explained with reference to the embodiments, and the terms are explained to enable those skilled in the art to more accurately understand the technical solution of the present invention, and do not necessarily limit the protection scope of the present invention.

Anti-theft commodity

The commodity anti-theft of the present invention refers to the narrow commodity anti-theft, that is, the anti-theft of the displayed commodity mentioned in the background art, and may also be called as the showpiece anti-theft, and generally refers to the places with commodity display requirements, the commodity display generally refers to the display of electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc., some functions of these commodities can be known by the user only when they are used, these commodities generally have some man-machine interactive interfaces, the exhibited person can contact and use all or part of the functions of these commodities exemplarily or demonstratively within a certain range, thereby understanding the performance of the commodities, in the industry, sometimes the commodity with functional display requirements can be called as the commodity with experience requirements, that is, the exhibited person can operate and experience the commodity to be displayed within the limited conditions and range, thus, the items are directly accessible to the experiencer, and the items themselves are portable and portable, therefore, the product has a great risk of theft, which necessitates anti-theft measures during the display process of the product, these anti-theft measures do not limit the use of the experiencer, but only limit the ability of the experiencer to take it away from the location, and even in some cases, these anti-theft measures also need to be considered as far as possible not to hinder the use of the experiencer, so that they can obtain a better use experience, this kind of take anti-theft measure and prevent that the commodity in show or experience is stolen and the technique or the trade that will minimize anti-theft measure to the influence that the commodity was experienced is one of commodity theftproof, also is the field that the utility model discloses the basis, this is different from the personal guard against theft (EAS) of article among the sales of volume vendor. The utility model provides an exhibit is the more special a kind of electronic product of shape, for example electronic watch, intelligent bracelet etc. and this kind of product has cyclic annular position usually, and if do not have support piece can't rely on self shape to satisfy the show demand that the function faced upwards.

Safe/non-safe states

The safe or non-safe state referred to in the present invention refers to the state of the displayed merchandise, especially refers to the state of the relationship between the displayed merchandise and the anti-theft device under the condition of the anti-theft device, generally speaking, the merchandise is in the state that we consider it not to be stolen, which is called the safe state, which we consider the possible stolen state, which is called the non-safe state, whether the anti-theft measure is intact, whether the displayed merchandise is under the protection of the anti-theft measure, if so, we consider it as the safe state, if not, we consider it as the non-safe state, that is, this safe or non-safe state, which can be relative to the anti-theft measure, for example, the anti-theft measure is to keep the displayed merchandise connected with the charging interface all the time, then the sensor detects the charging interface, whether it is connected with the merchandise all the time, if so, the state is in a safe state, and if the connection is disconnected, the state is in a non-safe state; or if the anti-theft measure is to keep the commodity in a charging state all the time, the sensor detects whether the charging cable of the commodity keeps power transmission, if so, the charging cable is in a safe state, and if not, the charging cable is in a non-safe state; or, if the anti-theft measure is that the commodity is clamped by the clamping device, the sensor detects whether the commodity is in the clamping space or whether the commodity is in contact with or installed on the clamping device, if so, the commodity is in a safe state, and if not, the commodity is in a non-safe state; and so on.

Security signal

Security signals are also a well-known concept in the field of article surveillance, when an article is in an unsecured state, some components in an article surveillance system will send out a security signal, which may be a sensing signal or an electrical signal or a digital signal, which may be triggered by many methods/events in the prior art, for example, the event may be a physical disconnection or a circuit disconnection, the triggering method may be sensing by the sensing component, the sensing signal is transmitted to the corresponding device, the corresponding device can send out a security signal according to the most basic logic judgment (yes/no) after receiving the sensing signal, in the field of article surveillance, the general triggering method may be disconnection, disconnection charging, detachment from an installed component, or destruction in a certain set manner, may trigger the generation of a security signal, which is conventional in the art.

Cable with a flexible connection
