SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provides a system and method for extracting information pertaining to a portable wireless communications device (103) which is connectable to a cellular communication network comprising the steps of: disposing the portable wireless communications device within an enclosure (101) substantially impenetrable by electromagnetic radiation; generating a cell of a cellular communication network within the enclosure; transmitting a signal to the device, the transmitted signal being suitable for initiating registration of the device with the generated cell; receiving a signal from the device comprising information pertaining to the device, the received signal being suitable for registering the device with the generated cell; and extracting information pertaining to the device from the received signal. Embodiments also provide the additional step of generating a message dependent upon the extracted information and transmitting the same, via the generated cell, to the user's device.

主权项

1. A system (100) for extracting information pertaining to a portable wireless communications device (103) which is connectable to a cellular communication network comprising:
an enclosure (101) arranged so as to be substantially impenetrable by electromagnetic radiation; means for generating a cell of a cellular communication network within the enclosure (105, 102); and processing means (106), coupled to the means for generating a cell;wherein:
the means for generating a cell is arranged so as to be able to:
transmit a signal to said portable wireless communications device when the device is disposed within the enclosure, the transmitted signal being suitable for initiating registration of the device with a cell generated within the enclosure, andreceive a signal from the device, the received signal being suitable for registering the device with the cell generated within the enclosure, the received signal comprising information pertaining to the device; and the processing means is arranged to extract the information pertaining to the device from the received signal.
