Contraband detection through smart power components
摘要
說明書
In some embodiments, contraband module 414 is a component that performs contraband detection for any device, such as device 110 that connects to smart outlet 300 through a power adapter such as smart power adapter 200. In some embodiments, contraband module 414 will perform contraband detection of devices when smart power adapter 200 and/or smart outlet 300 are not capable of performing the contraband detection. In such embodiments, necessary information to perform contraband detection, such as device identification information and additional information such as identification information associated with smart power adapter 200 and/or smart outlet 300 are transmitted to monitoring center 400. As noted above, only one component within contraband detection system 100 needs to include contraband detection capability within their respective contraband module. Accordingly, as long as at least one component (e.g., smart power adapter 200, smart outlet 300, and monitoring center 130) includes capabilities for detecting contraband devices (e.g., by performing device identification authentication), contraband detection system 100 will be capable of detecting contraband devices within a controlled environment.
