Apple Developed Technology To Block Wireless Transmission Of Information From Any Public Gathering Or Venue

Apple patented the means to transmit an encoded signal to all wireless devices, commanding them to disable recording functions. Those policies would be activated by GPS, and WiFi or mobile base-stations, which would ring-fence ("geofence") around a building or a "sensitive area" to prevent phone cameras from taking pictures or recording video. Apple may implement the technology, but it would not be Apple's decision to activate the "feature" – it would be down governments, businesses and network owners to set such policies, analyzes ZDNet technology website.
