EMI management system and method
First Claim
1. A method for managing the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining at a server a location of the electronic device within an environment;
determining at the server, levels of electromagnetic radiation in a plurality of locations of interest within the environment, wherein the step of determining the levels of electromagnetic radiation at a location of interest comprises estimating a level of electromagnetic radiation at a location of interest based on a scheduled use of equipment stationed at that location; and
the server implementing corrective action to limit the effect of the electromagnetic radiation on the electronic device based on the location of the device and the level of electromagnetic radiation in the location of interest.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing the effect of electromagnetic radiation on electronic devices, are provided. The systems and methods includes determining a location of an electronic device within an environment; determining a level of electromagnetic radiation in a location of interest; and implementing corrective action to limit the effect of the electromagnetic radiation. The location of interest can include at least one of a current location; a future location; and a location that is proximal to the current location of the device. Determining the amount of electromagnetic radiation at a location of interest can include estimating a level of electromagnetic radiation at the location based on equipment stationed at that location; a scheduled use of equipment stationed at that location; and receiving a signal indicating a level of electromagnetic radiation from at least one detector positioned at the location of interest.
