Mobile device communication access and hands-free device activation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a mobile device associated with a driver of a vehicle and from an on-board computer of the vehicle, an incoming telephonic event analysis application activation command;
activating an incoming telephonic event analysis application responsive to the incoming telephonic event analysis application activation command;
pairing with a hands-free device;
receiving an incoming telephonic event at the mobile device;
based on the received incoming telephonic event, transmitting a data transmittal control command to a telematics device associated with the vehicle;
receiving a calculated driver risk score and a calculated road risk score from an incoming telephonic event analysis system;
based on the calculated driver risk score and the calculated road risk score, activating the hands-free device paired with the mobile device; and
transmitting the incoming telephonic event to the activated hands-free device.

Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for analyzing an incoming telephonic event (e.g., call, message, and/or notification) to a mobile device during operation of a vehicle in relation to a combination of factors to determine if the incoming telephonic event is to be allowed to be received during vehicle operation. The mobile device associated with a driver of the vehicle may receive the incoming telephonic event during operation of the vehicle. An incoming telephonic event analysis application operating on the mobile device may apply a soft block preventing the incoming telephonic event from being displayed on the mobile device. Based on the incoming telephonic event data, vehicle operational data, user preferences, hands-free device activation, and driver and road ratings, the incoming telephonic event analysis application may determine whether or not to maintain the soft block or allow the incoming telephonic event to be displayed on the mobile device during operation of the vehicle.

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
receive an incoming telephonic event analysis application activation command from an on-board computer of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is associated with a driver; activate an incoming telephonic event analysis application responsive to the incoming telephonic event analysis application activation command; pair with a hands-free device; receive an incoming telephonic event; based on the received incoming telephonic event, transmit a data transmittal control command to a telematics device associated with the vehicle; receive a calculated driver risk score and a calculated road risk score from an incoming telephonic event analysis system; based on the calculated driver risk score and the calculated road risk score, activate the hands-free device; and transmit the incoming telephonic event to the activated hands-free device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
