Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2355889A] Many types of electronic equipment emit radio frequency signals and environments exist where the transmission of radio signals may be hazardous, unwelcome or should be restricted in a particular way. These environments include schools, hospitals, theatres, cinemas, conference centres and offices. The presence of such electronic equipment (1,5) is detected and a controlling device (4,5,6,16, 21) instructs the equipment to suppress radio transmission. In one embodiment, the means for detecting the presence of the device comprises a tag-detecting means for detecting the presence of a tag attached to the device.
