SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATION-BASED SECURITY
First Claim
1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a first memory device having first computer-readable instructions tangibly recorded thereon;
a first hardware processor configured to execute the first computer-readable instructions recorded on the first memory device; and
an RFID component that includes a transceiver configured to receive a proximity signal from at least one RFID reader when the RFID component is within a predetermined range of the at least one RFID reader, and a second memory device configured to store the proximity signal,wherein the first hardware processor is configured to, upon executing the instructions recorded on the first memory device, control at least one operation of the mobile computing device in accordance with the proximity signal received by the transceiver of the RFID component from the at least one RFID reader.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a hardware processor located in an RFID component communicatively connected to a mobile computing device, cause the hardware processor to perform a method for controlling at least one operation of the mobile computing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a transceiver of the RFID component, a proximity signal when the RFID component is within a predetermined range of at least one RFID reader; storing the proximity signal in the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the RFID component, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the RFID component having a control policy for the mobile computing device, the control policy including identifications of operations of the mobile computing device which are performable based on the received proximity signal; comparing the proximity signal to the control policy, determining which operations of the mobile computing device are permitted to be performed based on the comparison, and generating an operation signal identifying the operations of the mobile computing device which are determined to be performable; and transmitting the operation signal, to a second hardware processor of the mobile computing device, to control at least one operation of the mobile computing device in accordance with the operation signal transmitted to the mobile computing device.
