Abstract

See full text

A mobile wireless system (10) includes a transmitter such as a satellite (18) that broadcasts wireless signals such as boundaries for specific areas to a mobile receiving device (22). Mobile receiving device (22) may include an antenna (26) and a mobile receiving device (28). A locating receiver (50) is used to generate locating signals so that a determination may be made to the location of the mobile receiving device. In response to comparing the location and the boundaries, various behaviors of the receiving device can be controlled. Behaviors can include display or blockage of audio, video or data channels or other information may be used by the mobile receiving device.
