Abstract
A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes an activity sensor for generating data, a channel controller configured to determine the user presence based on the data obtained through the activity sensor, and a communication interface for communicating with an external network. The channel controller is configured to block or disable the communication between a source on the mobile device and the external network when the channel controller determines a lack of the user presence for a predetermined time.
