Patent ID: 7529544

Claim:
A system comprising: power logic arranged to detect disconnection of fixed-position power to the system and to detect connection of fixed-position power to the system, wherein the detected connection of fixed-position power occurs after the detected disconnection of fixed-position power to the system; a back-up power source for operation of the power logic while fixed-position power to the system is disconnected; location logic arranged to determine a current location of the system; data storage for storing a time-threshold; time logic arranged to determine, in response to the detected connection of fixed-position power to the system, that fixed-position power to the system had been disconnected for a time-duration that exceeds the time-threshold; and a communication interface arranged to provide a network entity with the current location, wherein the communication interface provides the network entity with the current location in response to the determination that fixed-position power to the system had been disconnected for a time-duration that exceeds the time threshold.
