Standard mobile communication device distraction prevention and safety protocols
First Claim
1. A protocol activator for activating a protocol behavior in a mobile device within a specified environment, comprising:
- a memory configured to store software instructions; and
a processor configured to access the software instructions from the memory;
the processor configured to access the software instructions from the memory to;
broadcast a trigger signal within the specified environment, the trigger signal comprising discovery information corresponding to a modified universally unique identification (UUID) code of the protocol activator, wherein at least a portion of the modified UUID code identifies at least one of;
the specified environment in which the protocol activator operates, anda specified working group information in the specified environment in which the protocol activator operates; and
wherein the discovery information broadcast from the protocol activator in the trigger signal causes activation of the protocol behavior in the mobile device within the specified environment.

Abstract
Methods and systems for providing standardized mobile device distraction prevention and safety protocols are disclosed. In particular, an embodiment of a method for activating a distraction prevention or safety protocol behavior in a mobile device when the mobile device satisfies a specific condition is disclosed. The method includes discovering one or more protocol activators configured to transmit discovery information associated with a specific condition. The method further includes activating distraction prevention safety protocol behavior in the mobile device based at least in part on the discovery information. In an implementation, the specific condition may be a specified environment itself and or include an event when the mobile device enters a specified environment or a specified sequence of numbers is dialed from the mobile device.

11. A method of activating a protocol behavior in a mobile device within a specified environment comprising:
-
broadcasting, by a protocol activator, a trigger signal in the specified environment; and including, by the protocol activator, a discovery information in the trigger signal, wherein the discovery information associated with the trigger signal corresponds to a modified universally unique identification (UUID) code of the protocol activator, and wherein at least a portion of the modified UUID code identifies at least one of; the specified environment in which the protocol activator operates, and a specified working group information in the specified environment in which the protocol activator operates; and wherein the discovery information broadcast from the protocol activator in the trigger signal causes activation of the protocol behavior in the mobile device within the specified environment. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for activating a protocol behavior in a mobile device, comprising:
-
discovering, by a processor in the mobile device, a discovery information received in at least one trigger signal from at least one protocol activator, wherein the discovery information corresponds to a modified universally unique identification (UUID) code, wherein at least a portion of the modified UUID code identifies at least one of; a specified environment corresponding to the protocol behavior and in which the at least one protocol activator operates, and a specified working group information in the specified environment in which the at least one protocol activator operates; and activating, by the processor, the protocol behavior in the mobile device based on the discovered discovery information received in the at least one trigger signal received from the at least one protocol activator. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
