Detection of device compliance with an operational policy

摘要

A detection device may monitor emissions from a computing device, which may include radiation and/or radio waves from a computing device. The emissions may be electromagnetic (EM) radiation indicative of operation of components of the computing device. When the emissions reach or exceed an emissions threshold, the detection device may output an indicator. The indicator may indicate a violation of an operational policy that is associated with the emissions threshold. The indicator may additionally or alternatively indicate compliance with the operation policy. In some embodiments, the detection device may be implemented as an accessory such as a case, a cover, a light, or another type of accessory for the computing device.

主权项

1. A portable detection device comprising:
a portable accessory housing configured to selectively couple to and de-couple from a mobile computing device that is different than the portable detection device; a processor disposed in the portable accessory housing; a detector disposed in the portable accessory housing and in communication with the processor, the detector to measure electromagnetic (EM) radiation emitted from the mobile computing device when the portable accessory housing is coupled to the mobile computing device; and an indicator disposed in the portable accessory housing and in communication with the processor, the indicator to receive a signal from the processor and, in response to the signal, to visually indicate whether the mobile computing device is operating in compliance with an operational policy, the operational policy permitting use of the mobile computing device in a controlled radiation mode wherein one or more particular components of the mobile computing device are allowed to operate at a throttled power state to prevent the EM radiation from exceeding a predetermined radiation threshold.
