Published: with international search report (Art. 21(3)) (54) Title: SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING A PROXIMITY LOCK USING BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY (57) : Systems and methods for implementing a prox- imity lock using Bluetooth Low Energy are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a Bluetooth low energy proximity lock sys- tem may include a host electronic device comprising a computer processor; a peripheral electronic device interfacing with the host electronic device that may include a controller and a first Bluetooth low energy component; and a user device comprising a second Bluetooth low energy component. The controller may, using the first Bluetooth low energy component, identify the second Blue- tooth low energy component, determine a radio signal strength be- tween the first Bluetooth radio component and the second Blue- tooth low energy component; and generate a command that ren- ders the host electronic device temporarily inoperable in response to the radio signal strength being below a predetermined threshold.
