Patent ID: 8428574

Claim:
A method of providing controlled mobile communication as a service comprising: providing, to at least one of a user of a mobile device and an entity associated therewith, a capability to subscribe to control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device in at least one controlled area requiring social sensitivity on part of the user, the wireless communication being provided through a mobile network operator; storing, in a memory associated with at least one of a data processing device and a base station controller, a level of control of the wireless communication associated with the mobile device in accordance with the subscription; identifying, through the base station controller, the mobile device based on an identification data associated therewith when the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area; controlling the wireless communication associated with the mobile device of the user through the base station controller in accordance with the level of control stored in the memory following the identification of the mobile device in the at least one controlled area through an antenna of a base station associated with the base station controller generating a signal that is stronger than a wireless signal of a cell site associated with the wireless communication service to the mobile device; determining that the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area based on one of a sequence of detection of the mobile device through the antenna of the base station associated with the base station controller and another antenna when the mobile device passes an access control point to enter the at least one controlled area, the access control point being a point of entry into the at least one controlled area, and the at least one controlled area being associated with the antenna of the base station; and gaining, through the base station controller, control of an access of the wireless communication associated with the mobile device based on the identification data when the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area, the control being gained through the antenna of the base station generating the signal that is stronger than the wireless signal of the cell site associated with the wireless communication service to the mobile device, wherein when the mobile device is in a vehicle, the method further comprises: determining that the mobile device is inside the at least one controlled area based on a detection thereof through the antenna associated with the base station of the base station controller, the base station being associated with the vehicle; and controlling the generation of the stronger signal by the antenna through a network listener base station associated with the vehicle.
