A system to temporarily block the iPhone's camera

Apple has thought about it and decided to register a new patent for a system that would be able to remotely lock your iPhone camera. Thus, being in a concert and would disable it would not be possible to take pictures or videos of the event.

Also, they take advantage to kill two birds with one stone, since this problem also occurs quite frequently in museums and cinemas. The patent registered by the Patent and Trademark Office US describes the camera detect an infrared signal and interpret their data being temporarily blocked.


Such a signal would be emitted from several strategic points and deshabilitarĂ­an use the camera to take pictures or videos. But Apple would not be responsible to disable the iPhone 's camera, but that would be the organizers of the concert, theaters or museums that would have to install such antennas and activate them when they see fit.

On the other hand, from iDropNews they say that this technology could also be used to transmit other information. For example in tourist areas where people usually take pictures regularly, information that could be of interest to what is capturing your iPhone it will show.
