Controlled mobile communication as a service

A method of transacting a service involving control of wireless communication associated with a mobile device of a user comprising:

• providing, to at least one of the user of the mobile device and an entity associated therewith, a capability to subscribe to the control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device in at least one controlled area requiring social sensitivity on part of the user, the wireless communication being provided through a mobile network operator;
• storing, in a memory associated with at least one of a data processing device and a base station controller, a level of control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device of the user in accordance with the subscription;
• controlling at least a portion of the wireless communication associated with the mobile device in accordance with the stored level of control in the at least one controlled area through an antenna of a base station associated with the base station controller generating a signal that is stronger than a wireless signal of a cell site associated with the wireless communication service to the mobile device;
• generating, through the data processing device, an invoice associated with the service to the user on a basis of data associated with the stored level of control and data associated with a provided level of control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device;
• determining that the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area based on one of a sequence of detection of the mobile device through the antenna of the base station associated with the base station controller and another antenna when the mobile device passes an access control point to enter the at least one controlled area, the access control point being a point of entry into the at least one controlled area, and the at least one controlled area being associated with the antenna of the base station;
• and
• gaining, through the base station controller, control of an access of the wireless communication associated with the mobile device based on an identification data thereof when the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area, the control being gained through the antenna of the base station generating the signal that is stronger than the wireless signal of the cell site associated with the wireless communication service to the mobile device,
• wherein when the mobile device is in a vehicle, the method further comprises:
• determining that the mobile device is inside the at least one controlled area based on a detection thereof through the antenna associated with the base station of the base station controller, the base station being associated with the vehicle;
• and
• controlling the generation of the stronger signal by the antenna through a network listener base station associated with the vehicle.

A mobile communication system providing controlled wireless communication as a service comprising:

• a mobile device associated with a customer of the controlled wireless communication as a service;
• a data processing device configured to provide the customer a capability to subscribe to the control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device in at least one controlled area requiring social sensitivity on part of the customer, and to store a level of control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device in a memory associated therewith in accordance with the subscription;
• a base station having an antenna associated therewith;
• and
• a base station controller of the base station to identify the mobile device based on an identification data associated therewith when the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area and to control at least a portion of the wireless communication associated with the mobile device in accordance with the level of control stored in the memory associated with the data processing device following the identification through the antenna of the base station generating a signal that is stronger than a wireless signal of a cell site associated with the wireless communication service to the mobile device, the base station controller being configured to determine that the mobile device is within the at least one controlled area based on one of a sequence of detection of the mobile device through the antenna of the base station and another antenna when the mobile device passes an access control point to enter the at least one controlled area, the access control point being a point of entry into the at least one controlled area, and the at least one controlled area being associated with the antenna of the base station,
• wherein when the mobile device is in a vehicle, the base station controller is configured to:
• determine that the mobile device is inside the at least one controlled area based on a detection thereof through the antenna associated with the base station, the base station here being associated with the vehicle;
• and
• control the generation of the stronger signal by the antenna through a network listener base station associated with the vehicle,
• wherein the data processing device is further configured to generate an invoice associated with the service to the customer on a basis of data associated with the stored level of control and data associated with a provided level of control of wireless communication associated with the mobile device.
