Location-based mobile device control

A method comprising:

• monitoring a communication between a first radio frequency identifier (RFID) component and a second RFID component, the first RFID component associated with a mobile device;
• determining a response time of the communication between the first RFID component and the second RFID component;
• determining a location of the first RFID component associated with the mobile device based on the response time of the communication between the first RFID component and the second RFID component, wherein the response time of the communication between the first RFID and the second RFID is associated with a charge time of one of the first RFID component and the second RFID component;
• and
• executing an operation on the mobile device in response to a determination that the location of the mobile device corresponds to a trigger location.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable/executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• receive, by the processor, communication data for communication between a first radio frequency identifier (RFID) component and a second RFID component and between the first RFID component and a third RFID component, the first RFID component associated with a mobile device;
• determine, by the processor, response times of the communications between the first RFID component and the second RFID component and between the first RFID component and the third RFID component based on the communication data, wherein the response times are associated with a charge time of a corresponding RFID component;
• determine, by the processor, a location of the first RFID component associate with the mobile device based on the response time and known locations of the second RFID component and the third RFID component;
• and
• execute, by the processor, an operation affecting the mobile device in response to a determination that the mobile device corresponds to a trigger location.
