Abstract
Protection against use of a two way radio, e.g. a cellular phone, at a combustible delivery station. One mode is active, and detects operating cell phones at the gas station. The phones can be detected using Bluetooth. The pump can be turned off when the alarm is detected. Another mode is passive. This mode can be via shielding, alone or with RF jamming.
Claims20
A system for protecting against two way radio use at a station for delivery of combustible material, comprising:
- a two way radio protecting element, which automatically protects against use of a two way radio within said station for delivery of combustible material.
A system for detecting two way radio use at a station for delivery of combustible material, comprising:
- a two way radio detecting element, which detects use of a two way radio within said station for delivery of combustible material, and automatically produces an action in response to detecting said use of said two-way radio within said station.
A method of preventing use of a two way radio in a combustible material delivery station, comprising:
- defining a perimeter of a combustible material delivery station;
- and
- protecting against said two way radio being used within said perimeter, at least while combustible material is being delivered.
