METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING SAFETY SERVICES RELATING TO MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- monitoring at least one environmental parameter of a mobile device;
determining an event according to a threshold, the event being based on at least a change in the at least one environmental parameter;
determining a feature configuration setting associated with at least one of the threshold or the event according to a device profile, wherein the device profile specifies a feature configuration setting that includes at least one of locking the mobile device, limiting access to at least one predetermined application, or disabling the mobile device; and
causing the mobile device to change a feature configuration according to the feature configuration setting.

Abstract
An approach for providing feature configuration management is described. A service controller platform, monitors at least one environmental parameter of a mobile device; determines an event according to a threshold, the event being based on at least a change in the at least one environmental parameter; determines a feature configuration setting associated with at least one of the threshold or the event according to a device profile, wherein the device profile specifies a feature configuration setting that includes at least one of locking the mobile device, limiting access to at least one predetermined application, or disabling the mobile device; and causes the mobile device to change a feature configuration according to the feature configuration setting.
