Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses associated with determining a location of a mobile device are described. Examples can include receiving, at a mobile device in response to a triggering event, signaling that indicates the mobile device is in an unauthorized location, in possession of an unauthorized user, or both. Examples can include prompting an input representative of authorized user verification and enabling one or more circuits or power supplies of the mobile device based at least in part on determining that a value of the input satisfies. In response and based at least in part on determining that the value of the input fails to satisfy the threshold, examples can include capturing environmental data and location data associated with the mobile device and communicating the environmental data and location data and a location determination to an authorized user. In some examples, a mobile device can be deactivated responsive to unconfirmed authorized verification.
