Abstract
A system includes an electronic device having a housing with an opening formed therein, a processor positioned within the housing, a motor positioned within the housing and coupled to the processor, and a latch positioned within the housing adjacent the opening. The latch is driven by the motor to move relative to the housing. The system also includes a security member securable to an immovable object. The security member includes a lock head that is insertable into the opening in the housing. The lock head has a recess into which the latch extends to secure the security member to the electronic device. The motor is operable to move the latch out of the recess in the lock head to release the security member from the electronic device.
