Standardized control of wireless devices
First Claim
1. A remote management method, comprising:
- identifying a mobile device in proximity to a venue associated with an event;
sending the mobile device a message requesting remote configuration permission enabling the server to disable a peripheral device of the mobile device within the venue during the event; and
responsive to receiving, from the mobile device, remote configuration permission;
sending a code indicative of the remote configuration permission, to the mobile device; and
initiating, by the server, remote disabling of the peripheral device, wherein said initiating includes sending a remote configuration command, executable by the mobile device, to the mobile device, to disable the peripheral device.

Abstract
A disclosed service for managing mobile and wireless communication devices (MWCDs) includes enabling a server to generate a standard remote configuration command (RCC) and enabling a transmitter coupled to the server to transmit the RCC wirelessly. The RCC configures a feature on a first MWCD of a first supplier and a second MWCD of a second supplier. The RCC may disable one or more of a set of selected MWCD peripheral devices. For example, the RCC may disable an MWCD camera, an MWCD microphone, and/or an MWCD speaker. In some embodiments, the RCC transitions the MWCD to a restricted state in which the MWCD is unable to record multimedia content including audio and video content. In these embodiments, the RCC may configure one or more of the features on each of a set of MWCDs within a defined geographic region.
