8. A system comprising:
-
a. a motion detector to detect motion; b. a filter to filter the motion to determine whenever motion is consistent with vehicular motion of a vehicle; c. a communication interface operably connected between the motion detector and a computer to transmit the signals of the filter between the motion detector and the computer; and d. a program on the computer to blank the screen of the computer whenever the filter determines vehicular motion or whenever the computer fails to receive signals from the motion detector. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
