Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention recite a method and system for implementing export control for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. In one embodiment, a GNSS receiver is used to determine the geographic position of an electronic device. It is then determined that the geographic region corresponds to an exclusion zone. In response to determining that the geographic region corresponds to the exclusion zone, accessing data from the electronic device is prevented.
Claims24
A method for implementing export control for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said method comprising:
- using said GNSS receiver to determine a geographic position of an electronic device;
- determining that said geographic position corresponds to an exclusion zone;
- and
- preventing the accessing of data from said electronic device in response to said determining.
A computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing an electronic device to perform the steps of:
- using a GNSS receiver to determine a geographic position of an electronic device;
- determining that said geographic position corresponds to an exclusion zone;
- and
- preventing the accessing of data from said electronic device in response to said determining.
A system for implementing export control restrictions in an electronic device, said system comprising:
- a geographic position input for receiving a geographic position from a GNSS receiver;
- an exclusion zone determiner for determining that said geographic position corresponds to an exclusion zone;
- and
- an access enabler for preventing the accessing of data from said electronic device in response to said determining.
A method for implementing dynamic export control for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, said method comprising:
- receiving a list comprising a set of geographic coordinates of at least one exclusion zone;
- using said GNSS receiver to determine a geographic position;
- determining that said geographic position corresponds to said at least one exclusion zone;
- and
- preventing the accessing of data from said GNSS receiver in response to said determining.
