Abstract:
1. A device for protecting a portable computing device comprising: a circuit board having a circuit element disposed thereon, the circuit board having a first face and a second face; a global positioning satellite device for determining a location of the portable computing device, the global positioning satellite device being disposed on the first face of the circuit board and in communication with the circuit element; a rechargeable battery for powering the circuit and the global positioning satellite device disposed on the first face of the circuit board; a flexible global positioning satellite antenna communicating with the global positioning satellite device for enabling communication of the global positioning satellite device with one or more global positioning satellites, the global positioning satellite antenna being disposed on the rechargeable battery; a communication antenna communicating with the circuit and disposed on the second side of the circuit board; a global positioning satellite antenna communicating with the circuit element and the global positioning satellite device for transmitting a location as determined by the global positioning satellite device in response to a lost signal being received by the circuit element at the communication antenna; the global positioning satellite device, circuit board, rechargeable battery, flexible global positioning satellite antenna, communication antenna, and circuit element being dimensioned to be disposed within the portable computing device in a manner which is not detected by the ordinary observer of the portable computing device.
