1 is a diagram illustrating an electronic device 100 anti-theft system using a USB including a disconnection detection circuit 320 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device 100 anti-theft system using USB according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a USB cable 200, a USB hub 300, and an alarm device 400. Can be configured.

The electronic device 100 may be an MP3 player, a PMP, a PDP, a camera, a mobile phone, a laptop, or the like as a protection object of the anti-theft system proposed by the present invention, but is not limited thereto. The USB cable 200 may be connected to the electronic device 100. Regardless of its form, the electronic device 100 may be any anti-theft protection object as the electronic device 100 of the present invention.

The USB cable 200 is a component that connects the electronic device 100 and the USB hub 300, and whether or not the USB cable 200 maintains the connection between the electronic device 100 and the USB hub 300. It may be a criterion for theft alarming. That is, the electronic device 100 anti-theft system proposed by the present invention is a wired detection system using the USB cable 200. The USB cable 200 includes a total of five lines of power +, power-, data +, data-, and ground, and the length may be varied in consideration of an exhibition method of the electronic device 100, and the like.

The USB hub 300 may include a plurality of USB ports 310, and the number of USB ports 310 includes a plurality of USB ports 310 according to a usage environment. Can be connected. In addition, it may include a line of power +, power-, data +, data-, ground connected to the USB cable 200, and may further include a disconnection detecting circuit 320. The disconnection detecting circuit 320 is a simple device for detecting disconnection. The disconnection detecting circuit 320 is connected to two lines of [data +, data-], [data +, ground] and [data-, ground]. 200) detect separation or cutting. The [power +, power-] line can be used to charge the device. On the other hand, according to the embodiment, it is possible to maintain the power supply through the internal battery in case of a power outage.

The alarm device 400 is connected to the disconnection detection circuit 320, and when the disconnection detection circuit 320 detects a disconnection, the alarm device receives a signal therefrom and generates an alarm. , Can be controlled using the remote control.

The anti-theft application may detect the disconnection or the disconnection of the USB cable 200, and may cause an alarm and vibration to occur when the disconnection or the disconnection. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the message, which has been separated or cut, may be transmitted to the administrator's mobile phone (500 of FIG. 4) by a short message service (SMS), a multi message service (MMS), a push notification, and the like.

4 is a diagram illustrating a structure for transmitting location information of a stolen device to an administrator using GPS in an electronic device anti-theft system using an application and a USB according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to an embodiment, when the smart device 110 is exported to the outside, the moving path is stored in real time using the built-in GPS, and when the smart device 110 is connected to the Internet, the stored information is transmitted to the administrator as a message or an email. The administrator can check the location information of the stolen smart device 110 through the mobile phone 500 or computer 600 of the administrator. The method of transmitting the location information may be various methods such as using a mobile communication network in addition to using the GPS. On the other hand, if the communication is not opened, you can send a message or e-mail using WIFI, and even if there is no built-in GPS, you can send an e-mail via WIFI, the IP address of the location to send Are transmitted together, so approximate location is possible.

The anti-theft application can only be run and exited via a password, which can be operated only by the administrator, and the general user can not terminate the program or turn off the device. In addition, the anti-theft application can be produced for each mobile operating system (Apple IOS, Google Android, etc.) and registered in the app store of each operating system and communication company, and downloaded and installed on the smart device 110 to be displayed.

Electronic device 100 anti-theft system using the application and the USB according to an embodiment of the present invention, because the application operation may not be possible when forcibly removing or cutting the battery or USB cable 200, USB hub 300 The disconnection detection circuit 320 is installed in the c), and further includes an alarm device 400 connected to the disconnection detection circuit 320 to configure an anti-theft device.

Since the USB cable 200 has the same configuration and effect as the USB cable 200 described with reference to FIG. 1, description thereof will be omitted.

Since the USB hub 300 has a similar configuration and effect to the USB hub 300 described with reference to FIG. 1, only the differences will be described. That is, whether the connection between the USB hub 300 and the smart device 110 is disconnected by the disconnection or cutting of the USB cable 200 may allow the smart device 110 to detect itself through the anti-theft application. However, as described above, since the application of the smart device 110 may not work, it is preferable to add the disconnection detection circuit 320 to the USB hub 300.
