Patent ID: 7034659

Claim:
A system for securing electronic equipment comprising: a first electronic device and a second electronic device, having dissimilar characteristics for a percentage of time coupled to a computer network; said computer network configured for providing data communication between said first and said second electronic devices; said first electronic device having a first means for storing data; said second electronic device having a second means for storing data; said first means for storing data containing a first configurable encoded information security application configured for automatically self-disabling said first electronic device when said first electronic device is disconnected from said computer network for a first predetermined time period; said second means for storing data containing a second configurable encoded information security application configured for automatically self-disabling said second electronic device when said second electronic device is disconnected from said computer network for a second predetermined time period; said first means for storing data further containing a first configuration encoded information application programmed for configuring said first configurable encoded information security application; said second means for storing data further containing a second configuration encoded information application programmed for configuring said second configurable encoded information security application; and said first configurable encoded information security application and said second configurable encoded information security application being programmed to allow differing configurations for said first electronic device and said second electronic device in response to said dissimilar characteristics for a percentage of time coupled to a computer network.
