Abstract:
An anti-theft device for monitoring Type C USB connector. An alarm module has a first terminal and a second terminal. A male plug has a first conductive member in electrical communication with the first terminal and a second conductive member in electrical communication with the second terminal. When the male plug is positioned within the receptacle, a closed electric circuit forms between the first and second conductive members. The alarm module supplies an electric current to the first terminal and monitors the electric current flowing to the second terminal. Responsive to detecting an interruption in the electric current flowing between the first and the second terminals, the alarm module transmits an alarm signal.

Claim (Index 1):
An anti-theft device for monitoring an electronic device having a universal serial bus (USB) Type C female port, the anti-theft device comprising:\n an alarm module having a first terminal and a second terminal; a male plug configured for insertion into the USB Type C female port, the male plug having a first conductive component and a second conductive component, the first conductive component being in electrical communication with the first terminal of the alarm module and the second conductive component being in electrical communication with the second terminal of the alarm module, wherein the first and the second conductive components are electrically insulated from one another when the male plug is outside the USB Type C female port; wherein, when the male plug resides within the USB Type-C female port, the first and the second conductive components are in electrical communication with grounded components of the USB Type-C female port, thereby creating an electric circuit between the first and the second terminals of the alarm module; wherein the alarm module supplies electric current into the electric circuit created between the first and the second terminals thereof and monitors the flow of the electric current through the electric circuit, the alarm module being configured to generate an alarm signal responsive to detecting an interruption in electrical connection between the first and the second conductive components of the male plug and the grounded components of the USB Type-C female port, the alarm indicating that the male plug has been at least partially removed from the USB Type-C female port.
