Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of determining whether a mobile device is located in an indoor location or an outdoor location. For example, an apparatus may include a controller to control a mobile device to transmit a wireless transmission and to listen for one or more received echoes of the wireless transmission received from one or more directions. The controller may determine whether the mobile device is located in an indoor location or an outdoor location, for example, based on the received echoes.

Abstract: A code division, multiple access (CDMA) receiver includes an RF section for receiving a CDMA signal through a channel; a circuit for determining an instantaneous total received power (Io) of the received CDMA signal; and a searcher that is one of enabled for operation or disabled from operation in accordance with value of Io. The circuit includes a comparator for comparing Io against a threshold, and for generating a searcher trigger signal only when Io exceeds the threshold or, preferably, for generating the searcher trigger signal if Io does not exceed the threshold, within some predetermined period of time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that employ various mechanisms to selectively disable mobile device functionality. In general, mobile devices can be utilized to store personal and/or highly sensitive information such as bank account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers and the like. If the mobile device is lost or stolen, data stored within the device can be accessed by an unauthorized user; and, thus, any personal and/or highly sensitive information can be obtained. In order to mitigate unauthorized access, the subject invention provides a disabling component that communicates with the lost or stolen device to render data stored thereon inaccessible. Further, the data can be stored in local or remote locations to backup stored information, thereby creating a more robust and reliable method of storing information important to the device owner. These features provide enhancements over conventional mobile device security techniques.
