  • Validation of Service Management Requests of a Mobile Device in a Geographically Bounded Space
    Publication number: 20140230040
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for disabling at least one application in a mobile device, wherein a communications component of the mobile device receives a request to disable the application and a certificate. The certificate defines a geographic area in which the application is to be disabled. The geographic location of the mobile device is determined with a location component in the mobile device; and, a processor in the mobile device compares the geographic location of the mobile device to the geographic area defined in the certificate to determine whether the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area. The processor validates the certificate to determine whether the request to disable the application is authorized. When the certificate is valid and when the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area, a controller in the mobile device disables the application.
