Abstract:
1. A system for correcting a portable telecommunications device that is non-compliant with telecommunications requirements in a second location, comprising: a signal scanner configured to instruct a transceiver on the portable telecommunications device to scan a first set of frequencies associated with a plurality of local telecommunications devices and configured to build a first data set of local telecommunications devices having telecommunications characteristics that do not satisfy a preset telecommunications characteristic set on the portable telecommunications device, wherein the portable telecommunication device has been configured for operation in compliance with telecommunications requirements of a first location and wherein the second location is without a facility for broadcasting the telecommunications requirements of the second location to the portable device, wherein the preset telecommunications characteristic set comprises operating allowances permitted by a telecommunications regulatory authority associated with the first location and wherein the portable telecommunications device has been set to operate according to the preset telecommunications characteristic set; and a region logic unit configured to determine if the first data set satisfies a compliance criterion of the first location and when the first data set fails to satisfy the compliance criterion, wherein the compliance criterion indicates appropriateness of the preset telecommunications characteristic set in the first location, then configured to instruct the transceiver in the portable telecommunications device to shut off and instruct a user interface on the portable telecommunications device to notify a user of the portable telecommunications device to switch to a companion telecommunications device that complies with appropriate telecommunications regulations.
