Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for limiting mobile device functionality in defined environments. One system includes a detection arrangement for detecting illicit mobile device RF transmissions and/or an operating state in relation to a defined environment, and a disabling arrangement for at least partially disabling the functionality of the mobile device upon detection of an illicit mobile device RF transmission or a particular operating state. For instance, the system may be implemented in an automobile or aircraft cabin to prevent drivers and/or passengers from utilizing at least one functionality of a mobile device (e.g., talking, texting, interne surfing).
