Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. Such determinations include determining an in-vehicle role, an in-vehicle location, a handheld state, and a vehicle class. Various transformations, modifications, and outputs can result from such determinations. Also disclosed are systems and methods for restricting operation of a mobile device, including restrictions that impede operation by a driver moreso than operation by a passenger. Also disclosed are systems and methods for orienting a coordinate system of a mobile device.

85. A method comprising:
-
receiving a first input; processing, by a processor, the first input to determine an in-vehicle location of a first device; and based on the in-vehicle location of the first device, employing a restriction with respect to the first device. - View Dependent Claims (86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104)

105. A system comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor, coupled to the memory, to; receive a first input; process the first input to determine an aspect of an in-vehicle location of a first device; and transform, based on the aspect of the in-vehicle location of the first device, at least one operation state of the first device. - View Dependent Claims (106)

107. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a first input; processing, by the processor, the first input in relation to a second input to determine an in-vehicle location of a first device; and based on the in-vehicle location of the first device, transforming an operation state of the first device.
