Embodiments are described for a pattern-based control system that learns and applies device usage patterns for identifying and disabling devices exhibiting abnormal usage patterns. The system can learn a user's normal usage pattern or can learn abnormal usage patterns, such as a typical usage pattern for a stolen device. This learning can include human or algorithmic identification of particular sets of usage conditions (e.g., locations, changes in settings, personal data access events, application events, IMU data, etc.) or training a machine learning model to identify usage condition combinations or sequences. Constraints (e.g., particular times or locations) can specify circumstances where abnormal pattern matching is enabled or disabled. Upon identifying an abnormal usage pattern, the system can disable the device, e.g., by permanently destroying a physical component, semi-permanently disabling a component, or through a software lock or data encryption.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a system having a controller to collect a plurality of User Interface (UI) device configurations, receive a request from a computing device to download one or more of the plurality of UI device configurations, and transmit to the computing device the one or more UI device configurations requested to configure one or more UI devices of the computing device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

An electronic device for transmitting, to a cover device, data acquired from an external electronic device, on the basis of identification information of the cover device, and a control method are disclosed. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present document comprises: a housing; a first antenna and a second antenna which are accommodated in the housing; a first wireless communication circuit set to provide first wireless communication by using the first antenna; a second wireless communication circuit set to provide second wireless communication by using the second antenna; and a control circuit accommodated in the housing and operably connected to the first wireless communication circuit and the second wireless communication circuit, wherein the control circuit detects coupling between a cover device, which can be coupled to one side of the electronic device, and the electronic device, and the cover device includes a third antenna and a third wireless communication circuit set to provide the first wireless communication by using the third antenna, and can be set to: acquire, through the first wireless communication circuit, identification information related to the cover device from the cover device at least on the basis of the detection; acquire, through the second wireless communication circuit, data corresponding to the identification information from an external electronic device; and transmit, through the first wireless communication circuit, the acquired data to the third wireless communication circuit included in the cover device.

An electronic device with a primary functionality and a tracking functionality can be used in a centralized tracking system. A controller configures the electronic device to operate in one of a set of: an “on” mode, an “off” mode, a first standby mode, and a tracking standby mode. While configured to operate in the “on” mode, the primary and tracking functionality of the electronic device are enabled, and while configured to operate in the “off” mode, both are disabled. While configured to operate in the first standby mode, the tracking functionality is enabled and the primary functionality is limited. While configured to operate in the tracking standby mode, the primary functionality is disabled but the tracking functionality is enabled, enabling the electronic device to be located while the primary functionality is disabled and saving power relative to the first standby mode and the “on” mode.
