The present invention is a system and process for adjusting the performance of an electronic device based upon geographical location. For example, government regulations, applicable to a specific state or country, might limit energy usage by some device. The process involves accessing the location, accessing relevant constraints for that location and device, and taking appropriate actions if necessary. If the device were a television or monitor, a postal code might be entered during set-up or other configuration, possibly by a remote control operated through a user interface. Conversion from location and device type to required actions might be executed by logic on the device itself, or a remote location. The device might keep current with changes to regulations by receiving updates across a communication system such as the Internet. |
