Abstract: A mobile communication device leash is provided which communicates via short-range-wireless communication (e.g., Near-Field Communication (NFC), BLUETOOTH®, ZIGBEE® or the like) with an associated mobile communication device. Once the mobile communication device is outside of the short-range wireless communication range (or outside of a predetermined range within the short-range wireless communication range) an action is triggered to control access to the mobile communication device itself and/or access functionality provided by the mobile communication device. The leash may be a simplistic wireless device, such as a wristband, card device or smart tag device having the sole function of controlling access to the mobile communication device itself (e.g., shutdown or locking the device) and/or access functionality provided by the mobile communication device (e.g., locking certain application or limiting access to data within certain applications).
