Mobile Phone Stripper.

How often has there been a need to convert the entire mobile to a basic call and sms phone. This includes stripping the phone of the features like camera, recorder, music player, games, internet, bluetooth, infrared all in the name of security. How often have we seen security sticking stickers on the camera, infrared, and asking people to surrender the mobile before visiting places. No I am not referring to people whose intention is to breach security but people who have to go through long queues and procedures and at the end of it all lose the camera due to the sticker. Sounds foolish. We have seen mobile phone jammers that can block all the calls at secure places and government and military establishments.
The solution I am proposing is a jammer similar to the call blocker but a cell phone on exposure to the particular frequency or code can disallow any such insecure or restricted operations like taking a picture at a museum, secure military establishments, temples, etc.

In the simplest of these implementations the phone can work in two modes full mode and the other basic mode ( remember we have a in-flight mode). In the basic mode the security can enter a code or password that will lock the phone from performing non allowed operations.

In the advanced mode it will be deployed like a jammer signal on reception of which the mobile will move the phone into a reduced mode of operation. On reception of another signal it could be unlocked ( placed at exit ). Else it could also be that when this signal is being received the phone will be in reduced mode, when the phone is no longer under influence of this signal it will turn into a full mode mobile phone.

This design can be complicated by allowing disabling of particular operations in the phone- camera only, bluetooth, data transfer, infrared etc.

Some day this feature will step into the market and most of the corporate establishments will force such a system since they are the ones who are looking to keep the work environment safer and more secure.
