ABSTRACT:
An electronic system embodies a security system which provides varying levels of security based on the location of the system. As such, the system includes a location module, such as a geosynchronous positioning system (“GPS”) receiver that permits the system to determine its location relative to a plurality of preset location areas. Such location areas might be programmed to include the user's office, home, predetermined location for a business trip and the like. Based on the location area in which the system is located, the system invokes a security mode associated with that particular location area. Different location areas may have different security modes.
