Abstract

Lorsqu'un téléphone mobile est utilisé dans des lieux où se trouvent des dispositifs nécessitant une grande précision, par exemple dans un service de soins intensifs ou dans une tour de contrôle, les ondes électriques émises par le téléphone ont une influence négative sur lesdits dispositifs et risquent de provoquer leur dysfonctionnement. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un dispositif émetteur qui émet un signal de mise hors circuit destiné à un téléphone mobile et qui est installé à l'entrée d'un lieu où se trouvent des dispositifs nécessitant une grande précision, par exemple dans un service de soins intensifs ou un laboratoire de recherche. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend en outre un dispositif installé sur le téléphone, qui reçoit le signal de mise hors circuit et coupe la tension de la batterie du téléphone portable. L'activation d'un dispositif de mise hors circuit automatique du téléphone, lorsque l'utilisateur de ce dernier pénètre dans une clinique ou un laboratoire de recherche permet d'éviter un dysfonctionnement des dispositifs de haute technologie provoqué par les ondes hautes fréquences émises et reçues par le téléphone.
