From CNET: If you're sick of having your view of Adele obscured by a thousand iPhones trying to film her, things are looking up. Apple has patented a system designed to force your iPhone into disabling video recording functions and it's designed for use in concert venues.
The system, The Guardian reports, uses infrared signals to send messages to your phone to tell it to shut down video recording. Apple's patent illustration shows a phone at a concert with the words "recording disabled" on screen. I won't even go into the fact that it shows the person trying to record video in portrait orientation.
Various artists -- including multiple Grammy and Brit award winner Adele -- have been outspoken about fans filming their shows, with many claiming that it spoils the experience for other fans.
It's not known if Apple plans to put the patent into use, and the company has yet to respond to a request for comment.
