Problems solved by technology

Other mobile device usage restriction systems restrict the use of certain applications on mobile devices near moving vehicles
Applications based on vehicle motion would be inefficient as features could be limited or disabled in all mobile devices within a predetermined distance from the vehicle, including mobile devices associated with passengers and pedestrians approaching the vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and method for restricting driver mobile device feature usage while the vehicle is in motion and particularly provides a method and system which may determine one or more mobile devices associated with a driver of a vehicle. The method and system may deactivate, if one or more vehicle parameters indicate the vehicle is configured for motion, one or more features of the one or more mobile devices associated with the driver of the vehicle. The method and system may reactivate, if the one or more vehicle parameters indicate the vehicle is no longer configured for motion, the one or more features of the one or more mobile devices associated with the driver of the vehicle. The one or more mobile devices may, in some embodiments, be mobile telephones and the one or more features may be text entry features.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to selectively restricting vehicle operator use of mobile device features based on, for example, mobile device identification information, vehicle parameters, and other information. Background technique [0002] Many mobile devices include features or applications that may require input and / or considerable attention from a user. Features, software, and / or applications of mobile devices (eg, cell phones), for example, may require text input from a user. Entering text into mobile devices and other features can require the user's attention, especially visual attention, for extended periods (eg, greater than a second). Using inputs and / or paying attention to mobile device features and applications while driving can, for example, divert a driver's attention from driving functions. [0003] Some typical mobile device usage restriction systems may restrict a driver's use of a reservation, for example, by disabling the applicati...
