1. A method for changing the status of a mobile apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining a first position of a mobile apparatus at a first time;
determining a second position of the mobile apparatus at a second time;
calculating the velocity of the mobile apparatus based at least in part upon the difference between the second position and the first position and the difference between the second time and the first time; and
changing the status of the mobile apparatus if the velocity exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for changing the status of a mobile apparatus based upon the velocity of the mobile apparatus. The communication system determines the velocity of a mobile apparatus by calculating the difference between a first position of a mobile apparatus at a first time and a second position of the mobile apparatus at a second time. If the velocity of the mobile apparatus exceeds a predetermined threshold, the communication system changes the status of the mobile apparatus to a sleep state and ends a call that the mobile apparatus is involved in.
