SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SMARTPHONE COMMUNICATION DURING VEHICLE MODE
First Claim
1. A device for use with a vehicle and with a communication device, the communication device being operable to transmit a first vehicle mode signal and to transmit a subsequent signal said device comprising:
- a processing component operable to operate in a vehicle mode and to operate in a second mode;
an indicator component operable to provide a vehicle mode indication signal when said processing component is operating in the vehicle mode;
a transmitting component operable to transmit a second vehicle mode signal based on the vehicle mode indication signal; and
a receiving component operable to receive the first vehicle mode signal and to receive the subsequent signal,wherein said processing component is further operable to perform a function while in the vehicle mode and based on the first vehicle mode signal and the subsequent signal.

Abstract
A device is provided tor use with a vehicle and with a communication device. The communication device can transmit a first vehicle mode signal and a subsequent signal. The device includes a processing component, an indicator component, a transmitting component and a receiving component. The processing component can operate in a vehicle mode and can operate in a second mode. The indicator component can provide a vehicle mode indication signal when the processing component is operating in the vehicle mode. The transmitting component can transmit a second vehicle mode signal based on the vehicle mode indication signal. The receiving component can receive the first vehicle mode signal and can receive the subsequent signal. The processing component can further perform a function while in the vehicle mode and based on the first vehicle mode signal and the subsequent signal.
