AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a pouch that can hold a mobile device and shield it from electronic signals. The pouch includes a shield made from a highly electrically conductive material, such as gold or silver, which blocks electronic signals from reaching the mobile device. The pouch also has a covering made from a commonly used fabric, such as cloth, leather, or vinyl, which provides a portable, effective, and affordable solution to prevent the mobile device from tracking its user's location and at the same time sanitizing it. The pouch is easy to operate, reassures the tracking is disabled, and provides a solution for protecting the privacy and security of mobile devices.

Problems solved by technology

This has posed serious concerns of intrusion to privacy and security.
Furthermore, the alleged solution of turning off the tracking function is not necessarily reassuring.
It is also dubious whether the mobile device makers have other applications of Wi-Fi network technology that are not made public and yet to be discovered.
In addition, a mobile device is one of the most often touched devices and imposes a notable risk to the user's health, in view of the threats of viral diseases caused by infections.
Yet, the market has not seen a device that is portable, convenient to use, and has an appealing appearance for everyday carrying.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]The invention is directed to a pouch for holding a mobile device, shielding it from electronic signals and / or sanitizing the device. There are various embodiments and examples possible, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that, given this disclosure, many embodiments and examples may be configured within the invention. The examples included herein are intended as exemplary, and in no way limit the invention, but are provided for illustration and understanding.

[0010]In one example, a compartment wall of a pouch includes at least two layers. The inner layer may be a shield made from a highly electrically conductive material, or other material that serves to block electronic signals, such as for example electromagnetic and / or radio frequency (RF) signals. The outer layer may be a covering made from a commonly used fabric, such as one of cloth, leather, and vinyl. When the pouch is closed, the shield closes and is sealed and thereby blocks electronic signals from reaching...

Abstract

Provided is a pouch for covering a mobile device to block electronic signals and / or provide and antibacterial function. In one example, a pouch includes a shield configured to envelope a device, a covering configured to envelope the shield, and a seal configured to close the shield and covering to fully encase a mobile device to prevent electronic signals from reaching the device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Mobile devices have never been so indispensible in human life and, for the same reason, have posed a number of new concerns. Recently it has been brought to public attention that some high end mobile devices are able to track and record their users' locations through Wi-Fi network, even while these devices are powered off. Examples of such devices include but are not limited to Apple's iPhone® and iPad®, Google's Android® Motorola® phones, RIM's Blackberry™ phones, Samsung's Galaxy™ phones, Microsoft's Windows®, and other phones. This has posed serious concerns of intrusion to privacy and security. For example, if the device is lost or stolen, it is possible for anyone having access to the device to obtain detailed information about where the user has been.[0002]Furthermore, the alleged solution of turning off the tracking function is not necessarily reassuring. It must be noted that the makers of above high end mobile devices did not give consumers ...
