ABSTRACT:
An electronic processing device having GPS card and antenna, such as a laptop or personal digital assistant, can be enable only when a geographic-specific password is entered. Geographic regions are established in the electronic processing device with a user interface and priorities can be granted to the regions. The user further stores a geographic-specific password for each of the geographic regions. When the user travels and wishes to enable the electronic processing device, the GPS card and antenna receive and process the device's current location. When the user inputs a password, the electronic device determines if the password is appropriate for the current location. If not, access is denied.
