In another feature, even if a determination is made that the mobile device was not located within the driver space of the vehicle during the predetermined period of time, the instructions executable by the processor performs the additional steps of determining whether the mobile device was oriented in a potentially “circumventing” manner, such that the mobile device was still usable or viewable by the driver of the vehicle despite being in the passenger space of the vehicle.
In a further feature, distracted driving prevention software blocks, controls, manages, and/or limits use of the mobile device when the mobile device is located in the driver space. Alternatively, distracted driving prevention software blocks or limits use of the mobile device even when the mobile device is located in the passenger space if the mobile device is determined to be oriented in a potentially “circumventing” manner.
Preferably, such distracted driving prevention software uses default or customized rules-based policies to determine what functionality of the mobile device is affected, when such functionality of the mobile device is affected, and how such functionality of the mobile device is affected. In some embodiments, such distracted driving prevention software causes the mobile device to be powered off, causes a blocking screen to be displayed which prevents other applications or functions of the mobile device to be accessed, or causes the controller to send one or more HID or similar signals back to the mobile device, which prevents unauthorized applications or functions of the mobile device to be used by the driver of the vehicle while the vehicle is being operated.
