Pocket alert function for use with radio and microwave broadcast telephone and smart phone devices

摘要

Mobile devices may minimize the radiation exposure to users by controlling the distance between the user, specifically the groin area, and the mobile device to a minimum distance. The reduction in exposure is realized due to the operation of the Inverse Square Rule on electromagnetic signal from the mobile device recognizing there is a steep fall off of signal strength resultant from increased distance between the head of the user and the source of the signal. Embodiments alert the user to a mobile device in the users pocket is in a transmission mode and thus should be removed from the users pocket to maintain operational distance between the user and the device to reduce signal absorption of the users reproductive organs. Enabled mobile devices detect the transmission mode and the acceleration of the device in determining whether to alert the user. Embodiments influence the user to maintain a minimum distance via alerts, interruptions and warnings. Thus maintaining a minimum distance between the user and the transmitter may have a dramatic practical effect.

主权项

1. A method to alert a user of a mobile device located in the user's pocket in order to prevent an unsafe exposure of radiation to the user's groin area, comprising
initiating an user warning cycle from the mobile device on a predetermined cycle, wherein the cycle includes a period in which an alert is active followed by a period in which the alert is not active; determining if the mobile device is in at least one of a predetermined plurality of transmission modes; determining if the mobile device has observed acceleration over a predetermined period of time; and disabling the user warning cycle if the mobile device is determined not to be in the at least one transmission mode or has not observed acceleration over the predetermined period of time.
