Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0140929A1] A method of monitoring a plurality of electronic devices positioned in an operating space and accessible by a plurality of users includes the steps of compiling a user database (10) comprising a plurality of user codes for authorized users, compiling a device database (12) comprising a plurality of device codes for identifying each one of the devices, and characterized by compiling a linking database (42) linking each user to a plurality of devices. Each of these databases is accessible by a host computer (26). A user (22) has a user token (16) which is emitting a user code (14) and a device (24) has a device token (20) which is emitting a device code (18). The host computer (26) detects the user code (14) and the device code (18) and measures the strength of the user code (14) and the device code (18). The host computer (26) links the user (22) to the device (24) by linking the user code (14) to the device code (16) in the linking database (42). The host computer (26) transmits a disabling signal, a prevention signal, or a security signals in response to detecting the device code (18) which is not linked to the user code (14).
