Microsoft “Digital Manners” Patent

The idea behind the patent, whose application is dated May 29, 2008, is to help device “behave properly” in different situations. There are a variety of ways for organizations to send out manners information, including if its suggested or required. A policy might mean that inside a university lecture hall wi-fi use is restricted or cell phone signals will not be transmitted. The title of the patent is Mobile Device Manners Propagation and Compliance. There may well be a geographic component as somehow the “range” required compliance must be designated.
