An automated control system for multi-level authority to operate electronic and electrical devices, said system comprising one or more wireless or wired controlled devices and one or more separate communicator and/or transmitter devices for an operation authorizing code and/or separate user identifiers for communicating the codes to a customer or the device, wherein the permission to operate electronic or electrical devices or the control or delivery of a code authorizing it proceeds automatically on the basis of the location of an authorized user and/or the device or the predetermined mutual relationship therebetween, such that the security or operating level of the protected device may change according to a location and a service mode,such that the geographic data of base stations in a mobile phone network is used as a code and the user and/or the device must be located within the range of a predetermined base station in a mobile phone network and the level of operating authority is determined on the basis of the location of various base stations,or such that the presence of a user is identified by means of the base station information of a mobile phone network and a short-range wireless communication link, such as bluetooth or Wlan, in such a way that the short-range communication link is activated automatically once the user arrives within the range of a determined base station in a mobile phone network,or an operating authority code is transmitted from the factory to the user by way of an authorized dealer,or the accepted operating location of the device is identified at close range by means of a code transmitter operating either over a wired or wireless communication link, the activation of which proceeds as described above or by connecting the device to its normal operating environment, such as a charging unit or a docking station or by way of a home automation, security or surveillance system.
