Contraband detection through smart power components
摘要
說明書
In 712, if monitoring center 400 determines that device 110 is a contraband device, then monitoring center 400 transmits a negative response to the connected outlet, power adapter, and/or device 110 where the negative response indicates that device 110 is not approved to receive power. For example, if connected outlet is a smart outlet, such as smart outlet 300, then the response indicates to the outlet to transition or remain in an inactive state in order to prevent power from being provisioned to device 110. If connected outlet is a conventional outlet but the power adapter is a smart power adapter, such as smart power adapter 200, then the response indicates to the power adapter to remain or transition to an active state.
In 714, monitoring center 400 sends an alert to the appropriate personnel of controlled environment with information regarding the failed attempt to receive power from an outlet within the controlled environment.
