Patent ID: 8750903

Claim:
A method of controlling wireless communication devices within a predetermined target area comprising: operating a cell phone controller to scan for base station beacon signals associated with the target area, collecting identification and control data of all detected base station beacon signals, creating a beacon set appropriate for all the base station beacon signals operative within the target area, attaching operation of cell phones within the target area to the cell phone controller by conducting an active processing mode, defining the active processing mode as producing a higher level of signal power by the cell phone controller than that of an ambient signal provided by the base station, providing a radio frequency (RF) detection apparatus, including time detection recording capabilities, to determine location of a cell phone within a target area, determining the location of a cell phone within the target area by receiving a response signal from the cell phone and determining the time therefore; and performing a query to a detection logger and recording port numbers when a time match of said time determined as a result of said response signal from the cell phone, occurs.
