CONTROLLING MOBILE DEVICE CALLS, TEXT MESSAGES AND DATA USAGE WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying an attempted communication comprising at least one of an attempted voice call, text message and mobile data communication from at least one mobile device located in a transport;
querying a carrier gateway server associated with the at least one mobile device to identify a remote server; and
applying a policy to the communication when a speed of the transport has either exceeded a first threshold, or fallen below a second threshold.

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, comprising:
-
a carrier gateway server; a session switching network; a remote server; a base station; and at least one mobile device connected to the session switching network via the base station, wherein the at least one mobile device is configured to attempt to originate a communication comprising at least one of a voice call, text message and mobile data communication from inside a transport, and responsive to the attempt, the session switching network configured to transmit a query to the carrier gateway server to identify and apply a policy when a speed of the transport has either exceeded a first threshold, or fallen below a second threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
