  • the control unit 1 has a control unit transceiver 6 that is also configured to receive and transmit messages over the mains supply 2.
  • the transceiver 6 comprises a transmitter and a receiver.
  • the control unit 1 checks periodically for the presence of the electrical device 4 using a technique similar to the known IP "ping". It generates a request message and transmits the message over the mains supply 2.
  • the transceiver 5 of the electrical device 4 receives the request message and generates a confirmation message.
  • the confirmation message is transmitted over the mains supply 2 and received by the control unit 1. In this way, the control unit 1 receives confirmation that the electrical device 4 is present and connected to the mains supply 2.
  • the transceiver 5 of the electrical device will be unable to send a confirmation message.
  • the control unit 1 will be aware that the electrical device 4 is not present on the mains supply 2 if no confirmation message is sent in response to the request message.
  • the control unit activates the alarm 3, which may be a local alarm or may be linked to a local police station.
  • control unit 1 sends request messages to each device 4, 6, 7 on the mains supply 2 and receives confirmation messages from each device 4, 6, 7.
  • the control unit 1 can identify precisely which devices 4, 6, 7 are connected to the mains supply 2 and which devices are not.
  • the control unit 1 has 'floor control'; that is to say, the order in which request messages are sent out and consequently confirmation messages are received is determined by the control unit 1.
  • the transceivers 5, 8, 9 associated with the electrical devices 4, 6, 7 may be disposed at different locations relative to the electrical device. These include the following:
  • Transceiver 5 may be built into electrical device 4.
  • a transceiver 8 may be disposed as part of a plug 10 that connects device 6 to the mains supply 2.
  • the transceiver may be disposed as part of an adaptor for adapting a mains socket to connect to more than one electrical device. In this way, by disposing the transceiver as part of, for example, a four-way adaptor, a single transceiver can be associated with several electrical devices. • The transceiver may be disposed as a unit between the plug of the electrical device and the wall socket, in the manner of a multi-way adaptor but with only one socket.
  • the transceiver may be disposed as a separate unit between the plug and the electrical device.
  • the transceiver may be disposed between the electrical device and another electrical device. For example, certain PCs draw power from the mains supply 2, with a further power cord connecting a monitor to the PC. If the transceiver is disposed in the power cord between the PC and the monitor, it will be impossible to disconnect the PC from the mains without also disconnecting the transceiver, and so the PC will be protected by the system. If the transceiver also contains means to detect the presence of the monitor, the monitor will be protected as well. If the plug 10 is removed from the mains supply 2 then the control unit 1 will detect the absence of the electrical device 6 and the alarm 3 will be activated.
  • transceiver 8 is disposed as part of a plug 10
  • a thief may attempt to fool the control unit 1 by cutting the cable connecting the plug 10 to the electrical device 6.
  • Various means can be used to detect whether the cable has cut. If cable cutting is detected, then the transceiver either stops sending the confirmation message, in which case the alarm 3 is activated, or sends an alarm message to instruct the control unit 1 to activate the alarm 3.
  • Means to detect whether the cable has been cut include:
  • ii) Means to detect a change in the capacitance of the mains cable to the device 6. This requires more sensitive electronics, but does not require the device to be left on standby. Other ways that a thief may use to try to defeat the system include electronic means. For example, a thief may attempt to flood the system with data, in a manner similar to an Internet 'denial of service' attack. The effect of this is to prevent signals from getting to or from the transceivers. If this happens, the control unit 1 will no longer be able to detect the presence of a transceiver and the alarm 3 will be activated.
  • a thief may attempt to use a 'spoofing' device that would listen to the messages sent on the mains supply 2 and imitate the response of the transceivers 5, 8, 9. This would allow the thief to disconnect any of the electrical devices 4, 6, 7 with greatity as the control unit 1 would still be receiving confirmation messages sent by the spoofing device.
  • the system uses messaging that follows an encrypted sequence, rather than sending and receiving the same "clear" messages each time.
  • the control unit 1 generates a request message 11.
  • This request message is encrypted 12 and then sent 13 via the mains supply 2 to the transceiver 5 of the electrical device 4.
  • the transceiver 5 decrypts 14 the request message and generates the confirmation message 15 in response to the request message 11.
  • the confirmation message is then encrypted 16 and sent 17 back to the control unit transceiver 6.
  • the control unit 1 decrypts the message 18, and if the message is confirmed as having come from the correct transceiver, the message is validated 19 and the alarm 3 is not activated.
  • the control unit 1 can be programmed to activate the alarm 3 if it receives two identical responses, since it can be configured to assume that one came from the transceiver 5 and the other from a spoofing device. Furthermore, the control unit 1 can be programmed to activate the alarm 3 if it receives an incorrect confirmation message.
  • the system would maintain operation provided that backup power was provided to the control unit and transceivers.
  • the backup power could be in the form of a battery or rechargeable battery, whereupon it would still be possible to transmit request and confirmation messages over the mains cables.
  • an apparatus for measuring the current drawn by electrical device 6 would no longer function, it would still be possible to detect the presence of electrical device 6 by other methods, such as measuring the capacitance of the mains cable or the impedance between the live and neutral connections of electrical device 6. An "open circuit" reading would indicate that the unit has been unplugged, and cause the alarm to be activated.
  • the transceiver may be connected to, or incorporate, an input device. Suitable input devices could include number pads for entering Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), card readers, and biometric sensors. An authorised person then uses the input device to show that they are authorised to move the equipment. Once the user's identity is validated against either a locally-held database or a central database associated with the control unit, the control unit will stop sending request messages to that electrical device, and will stop listening for confirmation messages from it. The device can then be unplugged and moved.
  • PINs Personal Identification Numbers
  • protection is automatically re-enabled for the electrical device when it is next connected to an environment where it is able to communicate with the control unit. If this does not happen within a pre-determined period of time, the control unit either activates the alarm or generates a message to inform staff that a device has been disconnected but not then re-connected within the permitted time.
  • the security system may be configured so that authorised users may re-enable the protection for the electrical device manually.
  • each electrical device is operatively connected to a transmitter only, which cannot receive signals from the control unit.
  • the transmitter may be disposed at the device, at a plug, between the device and a plug, between the device and a second device, or alternatively the device may be interposed between the transmitter and the mains supply.
  • the transmitter periodically sends out a confirmation message over the mains supply 2 to the control unit 1. If the electrical device is unplugged from the mains supply 2, then the transmitter cannot send confirmation messages over the mains network 2.
  • the control unit 1 is configured to activate the alarm 3 if it stops receiving signals from the transmitter.
  • This embodiment is otherwise compatible with the first embodiment.
  • each device comprises a receiver.
  • the control unit 1 periodically sends out advertisement messages over the mains supply 2 similar to the request messages described for the first specific embodiment. If a device is unplugged or otherwise removed from the mains supply, the receiver associated with the device can no longer receive the advertisement messages. In this event, the receiver further comprises means to disable the device. If, for example, a television containing such a receiver were stolen, it would no longer function as it could not receive the advertisement messages from the control unit and so the device would be disabled.
  • a user may also deactivate the system by entering the security code and a deactivate command into the control unit. This allows the electrical device to be legitimately moved to a new environment.
  • electrical devices might be legitimately used away from the security system environment for limited periods.
  • a data projector might be used at a trade show or at customers' premises for up to a few days at a time.

Means could also be provided to run multiple, redundant control units, with messages passed between them in order to verify their mutual presence and in order to synchronise their databases of electrical devices to be protected.
  • the third specific embodiment is compatible with the first specific embodiment.
