First Claim
1. A system for controlling application of one or more electronic devices operating in a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a first electronic device located in a vehicle and operating at least one application;
a second electronic device useable in the vehicle;
an interface for allowing the first electronic device to interface with the second electronic device;
memory storing policy data comprising policy rules and logic for controlling functions available with at least one of the first and second electronic devices; and
a policy controller for applying the rules and logic in the policy data to determine whether one or more of the functions may be performed and controlling the one or more functions based on the application of the rules and logic.
