company recently patented a technology that allows users to easily locate lost or stolen smartphones and protect their data.<\/p>\n<p>The patent document describes how this anti-theft technology works.\u00a0When the owner of the smartphone activates it, the device receives certain instruction commands.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the smartphone immediately goes into black screen mode, which makes it inoperable, and the SIM card slot is blocked so that others cannot use their SIM cards.\u00a0As an additional step, you can make the smartphone connect to the Internet and send information about its location.\u00a0This can be useful when the device is in working order and its main functions are not blocked.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_152814\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152814\"
