1. A method for detecting and controlling an operational image capturing device associated with a wireless communication device, said method comprising the programmed steps of:
- monitoring for the presence of an operational image capturing device in an image-capturing restricted or prohibited zone,if said operational image capturing device is found, scanning for an active profile within said image capturing device,if said active profile is found, scanning for a “
silent”
profile within said wireless communication device and, if found, activating said “
silent”
profile;
if said “
silent”
profile is active, scanning for an active image capturing application within said wireless communication device;
if said active image capturing application is detected, deactivating said active image capturing application;
registering said image capturing device associated with the wireless communication device and logging the entire event in a database; and
restoring said image capturing device active profile when the said image capturing device is no longer present within said restricted or prohibited zone.
