Abstract
A method and system for altering the functionality of a device based on location. When the device is in a designated location, the device may receive a control signal specific to the location. The control signal may cause the device to change its control logic (such as application layer logic) so as to change the responses that the device has to various primitives or to change the primitives that the device employs in carrying out various functions. When the device leaves the designated area, the device may then revert to a normal state of operation.
