Systems, methods, and devices for enforcing do not disturb functionality on mobile devices
摘要
說明書
For example, in some circumstances or applications, only the driver's mobile device needs to be blocked (i.e., monitored, controlled, etc.)—while the passenger devices (front seat and/or backseat) are allowed to remain unaffected. Alternatively, there may be circumstances or applications in which it is desirable for the system to be configured to block all mobile devices regardless of which mobile device is in the driver seat, or to open up certain aspects of the mobile device for non-drivers.
Preferably, such distracted driving prevention or risk reduction are designed to improve upon the safe operation of a vehicle by a driver who has a mobile device, by limiting, controlling, managing, or preventing use of some or all functionality of the mobile device while the vehicle is in operation by the driver and/or in motion above a threshold speed, whether in reverse or forward direction. Preferably, a default or configurable policy, rule base, or set of protocols are installed on, uploaded to, or otherwise accessible by the mobile device to define what functionality of the mobile device is limited, controlled, managed, or prevented and under what circumstances.
Preferably, the distracted driving prevention or risk reduction applications described herein use rules-based policies that are defined and targeted to individual users, devices, and vehicles, or they may be targeted to fleets of vehicles and selectively to groups or subgroups of employees or other categories of people using a centralized policy distribution and management system.
