System and method to reduce a mobile device user's radiation exposure and enhance battery life

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a system, method and computer program product for reducing a mobile phone user's RF signal emissions exposure at the mobile device and increasing the battery life of an active mobile device. In accordance with the method, a hardware processor device obtains respective data representing: a current location of the actively communicating mobile device held by a user, a current orientation angle of the mobile device relative to a reference axis, an identification of a communications cell in which a communications receiver receiving communications from the mobile phone is located, and a location of the communications receiver. The processor computes an angle based on the data representing the current mobile device location, the current orientation angle and the location of the communications receiver, and compares the computed angle against a threshold angle. In response to the comparison, a warning is presented indicating that a user modify orientation of mobile device being held by the user.
