Contraband detection through smart power components
摘要
說明書
In some embodiments, contraband module 316 determines whether device 110 is authorized to receive power through any outlet based on the received identification information. In some embodiments, this determination is performed by contraband module 316. In some embodiments, smart outlet 300 does not perform contraband detection (e.g., contraband module 316 is absent or not working) and forwards the identification information to another smart power component for contraband detection such as a monitoring center, such as monitoring center 130, associated with the controlled environment. In some embodiments, smart power adapter 200 performs the contraband detection and transmits a signal to contraband module 316 indicating whether the device connected to smart power adapter 200 is authorized to receive power. In response to this signal, contraband module 316 changes its power state to active or inactive based on whether the device is authorized to receive power.
