A method and system for controlling an electronic device is described. The
method includes programming a device controller with a location and/or
time to define a geo-temporal zone according to the location and/or a
window of time, and to select a device function that zone. A device
state, which includes the current time and the device position, is then
monitored. Upon determining that the device state corresponds with the
defined geo-temporal zone, the device is controlled to execute the
selected function. The function can relate to selectively enabling or
disabling some or all of the device capabilities, power management, and
others.
