Abstract

Method for disabling a mobile device (1) with communication capabilities. A message is sent from the control center (2) to the mobile device (1), said message comprising disabling data for disabling at least one function of the mobile device (1). Said disabling data comprises data for changing program instructions corresponding to at least one function of the mobile device (1) so as to disable said function. The mobile device (1) and the control center (20) are configured to implement the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for remotely disabling at least one function of a mobile device. The invention also relates to a mobile device having communication capabilities and comprising at least one function, which mobile device can be disabled from a remote location. Background technique [0002] Various types of mobile devices are known which have communication capabilities and can communicate with a communication network, such as portable mobile radio communication devices, mobile radio terminals, mobile phones, pagers, communicators, electronic organizers and smartphones. The communication network may eg be a mobile communication network such as a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network or a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) network eg specified by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). [0003] If the mobile device is stolen while it is switched on, the thief can use the mobile device without locking it with...
