CONTROLLING MOBILE DEVICE CALLS, TEXT MESSAGES AND DATA USAGE WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method of regulating mobile device communications while operating a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a speed event indicating that a speed of the motor vehicle has performed at least one of exceeded a first threshold above which mobile device usage restriction policies are invoked and fallen below a second threshold allowing the mobile device restriction policies to be removed, wherein the first threshold is equal to or greater than the second threshold;
transmitting the speed event to a remote edge gateway server located remotely from the motor vehicle; and
storing the speed event in the remote edge gateway server.

Abstract
Disclosed are an system and method of regulating mobile device communications while operating a motor vehicle. One example method may include determining a speed event indicating that a speed of the motor vehicle has performed at least one of exceeded a first threshold above which mobile device usage restriction policies are invoked and fallen below a second threshold allowing the mobile device restriction policies to be removed. The first threshold may be equal to or greater than the second threshold. As a result of obtaining the speed event, the method may also provide transmitting the speed event to a remote edge gateway server located remotely from the motor vehicle, which stores the speed event for reference purposes when determining a policy for routing a particular mobile device call, text message and/or mobile data session.

8. A system configured to regulate mobile device communications while operating a motor vehicle, the system comprising:
-
an edge gateway server configured to determine a policy associated with at least a speed event indicating that a speed of the motor vehicle has performed at least one of exceeded a first threshold above which mobile device usage restriction policies are invoked and fallen below a second threshold allowing the mobile device restriction policies to be removed, wherein the first threshold is equal to or greater than the second threshold; and a transmitter device configured to obtain and transmit the speed event to the remote edge gateway server located remotely from the motor vehicle, the remote edge gateway server comprising memory configured to store the speed event in the remote edge gateway server. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
