Abstract

An approach for implementing a local device management application for deterring misuse, loss, or theft of mobile devices includes determining that a use of a first device at least substantially satisfies one or more use criteria. The approach also includes generating a notification message regarding the use. Further, the approach includes initiating a transmission of the notification message from the first device to a second device.
