Abstract
The system detects damage and tampering of electronic devices, including tablets. A damage detector secured to the tablet provides a detection circuit. The system detects damage to the device/tablet by determining if the detection circuit is broken or otherwise interrupted. A broken or interrupted detection circuit indicates that the electronic device has been damaged or otherwise tampered with. A damage reader is installed within a base that accepts the device. The damage reader checks if the detection circuit is complete and determines if all of the RFID tags associated with a tablet can be read. If the damage reader fails to detect any of the damage detectors, the system indicates that the device/tablet is damaged.
