摘要：An embodiment of the invention provides a method for disabling at least one application in a mobile device, wherein a communications component of the mobile device receives a request to disable the application and a certificate. The certificate defines a geographic area in which the application is to be disabled. The geographic location of the mobile device is determined with a location component in the mobile device; and, a processor in the mobile device compares the geographic location of the mobile device to the geographic area defined in the certificate to determine whether the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area. The processor validates the certificate to determine whether the request to disable the application is authorized. When the certificate is valid and when the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area, a controller in the mobile device disables the application.

主权项：1. A mobile device including at least one application, said mobile device comprising: a communications component, said communications component receives a request to disable the at least one application and a certificate, the certificate defining a geographic area in which the at least one application is to be disabled; a location component connected to said communications component, said location component determines the geographic location of the mobile device; a processor connected to said location component, said processor compares the geographic location of the mobile device to the geographic area defined in the certificate to determine whether the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area, said processor validates the certificate to determine whether the request to disable the at least one application is authorized; and a controller connected to said processor, said controller disables the at least one application when the certificate is valid and when the geographic location of the mobile device is within the geographic area.
