    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for remotely initiating lost mode on a computing device. A request that lost mode be initiated can include a message and contact information provided by the requesting user. Once authenticated, a command to initiate lost mode is sent to the lost device. Initiating lost mode includes locking the lost device and suppressing select functionality. The message and contact information are displayed and the lost device is enabled to contact the requesting user using the contact information. The lost device can also collect and transmit location data to the requesting user. The location data can be presented on a map indicating the lost devices location and the time the lost device was at the location. The location data can be scheduled to be resent to the user based on numerous factors such as a set schedule, rules or heuristic.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising: receiving, at the computing device, a first authenticated command initiating a lost 5 mode on the computing device, wherein the first authenticated command is authenticated using an account associated with the computing device and includes instructions setting a termination password on the computing device, the termination password defined by a requesting user on a requesting device to terminate the lost mode on the computing device; in response to receiving the first authenticated command, initiating the lost mode on the computing device and setting the 0 termination password on the computing device; responsive to the initiating the lost mode, locking the computing device and suppressing select functionality of the locked computing device; responsive to the initiating the lost mode, locking the computing device and suppressing select functionality of the locked computing device; transmitting, to a server computer, first location data identifying a first geographic location of the locked computing device and including a time at 5 which the locked computing device was at the first geographic location; determining that a first condition has been satisfied, wherein the first condition is at least one condition in a set of conditions and the set of conditions include that a predetermined amount of time has passed since the time at which the locked computing device was at the first geographic location; responsive to the determining that the first condition has been satisfied, transmitting, to the server computer, 0 second location data identifying a second geographical location of the locked computing device and including a time at which the locked computing device was at the second geographic location; receiving, at the locked computing device, a second authenticated command to remotely unlock the computing device, wherein the second authenticated command is authenticated using the account associated with the computing device; and upon receipt of the second authenticated 25 command at the locked computing device, terminating the lost mode on the locked computing device, unlocking the locked computing device, and restoring the select functionality.
