Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage of this method is that it relies on the location of the mobile communication device, which can lead to the undesired result of disabling cell phones used by people who are not driving the vehicle
Another disadvantage of this method is that a motor vehicle driver may use a mobile communication device far enough from the steering wheel that the method cannot be met and the driver's device is not disabled

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0026] Several systems and methods for controlling electronic devices have been proposed. According to an embodiment of the system 70 for controlling the electronic device 30, a sensor (not shown) may detect the occupancy of a person, and the sensing electrode 10 provides a time-varying encoded signal 20 in response to the sensor's detection. The sensors used to detect the occupancy of people may be any type of sensor such as proximity sensors, optical sensors, pressure sensors, capacitive or electric field sensors, tactile sensors and any other sensor that can determine the physical presence of an object. The encoded signal 20 has a specific frequency and power, and may contain information, such as digital information, to distinguish it from similar signals. An encoded signal 20 is emitted from a sensing electrode 10 driven with a time-varying potential. Current flows from ...

Abstract

A system for controlling an electronic device includes a sensor configured to detect occupancy of a person and a sensing electrode that provides an encoded signal in response to the sensor, the signal having a particular frequency and power. The sensing electrode is configured to transmit the signal to the person detected by the sensor. The frequency of the signal provided by the sensing electrode is configured to allow the signal to be redistributed through a person easily. An electronic device is configured to detect the signal when the electronic device is coupled to the person, and a response of the electronic device to the signal is controlling a feature of the electronic device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 584,278, filed January 8, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present application generally relates to a method and system for controlling electronic devices within a vehicle based on information about occupants of the vehicle. Background technique [0004] The growth of electronic devices, especially mobile communication devices (ie: cell phones, PDAs, tablets, MP3 players, laptops, e-readers) is significantly affecting the safety of automobiles. Drivers who use mobile communication devices to dial cell phones, read and send short messages, or read and send e-mail messages, and those who drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol, are likely to cause serious traffic accidents. In addition, every new mobile communication technology introduced contributes to the problem of "inattent...
