Abstract
A disclosed service for managing mobile and wireless communication devices (MWCDs) includes enabling a server to generate a standard remote configuration command (RCC) and enabling a transmitter coupled to the server to transmit the RCC wirelessly. The RCC configures a feature on a first MWCD of a first supplier and a second MWCD of a second supplier. The RCC may disable one or more of a set of selected MWCD peripheral devices. For example, the RCC may disable an MWCD camera, an MWCD microphone, and/or an MWCD speaker. In some embodiments, the RCC transitions the MWCD to a restricted state in which the MWCD is unable to record multimedia content including audio and video content. In these embodiments, the RCC may configure one or more of the features on each of a set of MWCDs within a defined geographic region.

12. A mobile and wireless communication device (MWCD) comprising:
-
a processor operably coupled to a storage resource; a wireless module coupled to the processor; a peripheral device coupled to the processor, the peripheral device selected from a group of peripheral devices consisting of a microphone and a camera; a storage resource; and a remote configuration module comprising instructions, stored in the storage resource, for responding to a set of remote configuration commands (RCCs) received via the wireless module wherein at least one of the RCCs comprises a restricted state command that transitions the MWCD to a restricted state in which content recording functionality supported by the peripheral device is disabled. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

20. A service comprising:
-
enabling a mobile wireless communication device (MWCD) to receive a multicast signal; and enabling the MWCD to respond to reception of the multicast signal by transitioning the MWCD to an operational state wherein the MWCD is unable to record a multimedia performance and unable to generate audibly detectable sounds.
-
-
21. A service comprising:
-
enabling a server to transmit a multicast signal to a plurality of telephony-based mobile wireless communication devices (MWCD); and enabling at least one of the MWCDs to respond to reception of the multicast signal by transitioning the MWCD to an operational state for use in a multimedia performance environment, wherein the MWCD is prevented from recording the performance in the operational state.
