Many artists and comedians politely ask the crowd to refrain from snapping pictures and shooting videos during their performance – only to be ignored once the show starts.许多艺术家和喜剧演员都会礼貌地催促观众，不要在他们演出的时候照片或者视频--不过一旦表演开始之后，观众们还是不会这样做到。Apples latest patent could be the solution, disabling the use of recording and photography features inside concert halls.苹果公司近期的一项专利可能会解决问题这一问题，需要在音乐大厅里禁令用于照片和视频等功能。

Using infrared data transmissions, venues would emit a signal that would hit every iPhone, preventing users from taking pictures and recording videos of the stage.通过用于红外线数据传输技术，表演场馆将不会向现场的每一台iPhone都发送到一个信号，使得iPhone的用户继续无法用于手机的照片和摄像机功能。In some embodiments, a transmitter can be located in areas where capturing pictures and videos is prohibited and the transmitters can generate infrared signals with encoded data that includes commands temporarily disabling recording functions, reads the patent published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.根据美国专利和商标局发布的专利解释中，我们可以读书到：“在某些实例中，红外线发射器可以放置在某些禁令照片和摄像机的地方，而且这个发射器需要产生具有编码数据的红外信号，信号中包括的指令将使得观众继续无法用于视频和照片功能。

”The new technology would allow event organizers and performers to set up a device on the stage, push a button and instantly hinder the audience from recording their favorite song or snapping an image of the performer for their Instagram.要用于这一新技术，活动主办方和表演者要在舞台上加装一台设备，按下按钮的瞬间，观众就无法录音他们讨厌的歌曲，也无法拍电影下表演者的照片零担Instagram上去了。When switched on, the device would shoot out the signal and every iPhone in the audience would display recording disabled on the screen – but only if users attempt to take pictures or shoot a video at something you shouldnt.一旦开始运转，这台设备就不会发出信号，现场观众手中iPhone的屏幕上将经常出现“无法摄像机”的字样--但也只有在用户们企图摄制那些不容许被摄制的东西的时候才不会这样。For example, it will be disabled if you try to take a picture of the performer on stage but not if you are taking a picture of your friend dancing to the music.举例来说，如果你想拍电影一张舞台上表演者的照片的话，你的手机就无法用于照片功能了，但是如果你想要拍电影一张你的朋友随着音乐跳跃一起的照片的话，那就没问题。

This is because infrared is directional, meaning the receiver that is on stage can only hit the iPhones that are pointed directly at the device.这一情况是因为红外信号是定向的，这就意味著只有当iPhone正对着舞台上的设备的时候，收到的信号才需要传输到iPhone中去。Another option of this technology would either add a watermark or blur effect to images snapped during the event – in a bid to discourage people from sharing them online.这项技术还有另外一个最合适方案，那就是让观众们在活动现场摄制的照片上具有水印或者模糊不清效果--以此来劝说人们不要在网上传播这些图片。
