| Summary: | Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices had evolved
and had been very important to the computing world
nowadays. Globally more than 20 million USB sticks are lost
every year mainly for data storage. Other than that, it
involves communication devices to the USB such as wireless
presenter and mouse or the data storage in thumb drive and
external hard disk drive. Losing any of these devices due to
the forgotten issue while working publicly in the lab or
cyber café could result to cost issue for replacement or risk
in exposing high volume of sensitive data to unknown
people. Although there are softwares to guarantee the
security of the losing data, it is not enough to recover the
data or to replace the losing devices. ForgetMeNot (FMN) is
an application for Android OS smartphone, using Bluetooth
connection, will alarm the user when accidentally leaving
the USB devices. It can be used for all the USB devices as
long as the USB devices are embedded with the Bluetooth
module. With the lower cost of Bluetooth modules, it is an
advantage to the USB devices producer, to embed their USB
devices with Bluetooth module to give options to user
enabling the FMN to avoid missing USB devices. |
