SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISABLING AND ENABLING MOBILE DEVICE FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling activity of a mobile device corresponding to a first user, the method comprising:
- enabling an application to receive an indication of permitted usage from a second user;
receiving via the application from the second user an indication of permitted usage of the mobile device; and
transmitting instructions to the mobile communication device to disable or enable at least one functional component of the mobile device responsive to the indication of permitted usage.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for controlling activity of a mobile device corresponding to a first user is provided. The method includes enabling an application to receive an indication of permitted usage from a second user. An indication of permitted usage of the mobile device is received via the application from the second user. Instructions are transmitted to the mobile communication device to disable or enable at least one functional component of the mobile device responsive to the indication of permitted usage. Further provided is a computing system including at least one memory configured to perform a procedure for controlling activity of a mobile device.
