Mobile communication device, method, and system for reducing exposure to radio frequency energy during transmissions by transmitting media in/out while the mobile communication device is safe distance away from user
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a notification on a network to implement an RF energy protection mode for a wireless communication device wirelessly connected to the network, the notification generated at the wireless communication device and transmitted to the network in response to;
(i) an explicit command entered into the wireless communication device by the user;
or(ii) the user'"'"'s behavior when using the wireless communication device in an unsafe position relative to the user;
storing media intended for the wireless communication device on the network while the energy protection mode is implemented;
receiving a second notification on the network when the wireless communication device is positioned a safe distance away from the user of the wireless communication device;
transmitting the media stored on the network while the RF protection mode was implemented to the wireless communication device after receiving the second notification when the wireless communication device is positioned the safe distance away from the user;
enabling the storage of the transmitted media on the wireless communication device when the media is transmitted from the network to the wireless communication device; and
enabling the user of the wireless communication device to render the media after transmission by accessing the media out of storage on the wireless communication device.

Abstract
A mobile communication device and method for reducing exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy during outgoing and incoming transmissions. During outgoing transmissions, media is stored in a local storage element on the mobile communication device as the media is being created. When the device is positioned a safe distance away from the user, the media is transmitted out of storage over the network to the recipient. Alternatively for incoming transmissions, media is stored on the network as it is created. While the wireless communication device is a safe distance away from the user, the media stored on the network is transmitted to the mobile communication device, where it is locally stored. The user of the mobile communication device can then review the incoming media at an arbitrary later time out of storage. As a result, the exposure of the user of the mobile communication device to RF energy for both outgoing and incoming transmissions is either substantially reduced or eliminated altogether.

16. Computer code embedded in a non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to be executed on a wireless communication device connected to a wireless network, the code configured to:
-
generate an RF protection mode signal that notifies the network not to transmit media intended for the wireless communication device because the wireless communication device is placed in an unsafe position relative to a user of the communication device, the code generating the RF protection mode signal either; (i) in response to an explicit command entered by the user of the wireless communication device;
or(ii) automatically when the wireless communication device is in an unsafe position relative to the user; generate a safe-to-transmit signal that notifies the network that it is safe to transmit the media intended for the wireless communication device and stored on the network while RF protection mode was implemented; store the transmitted media received from the network in response to the safe-to-transmit signal; and enabling the user of the communication device to render the media out of storage. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
