First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for improving driver safety with mobile communications, comprising:
- receiving contextual awareness metrics corresponding to driving by a user of a device, the contextual awareness metrics comprising at least one of navigation metrics, weather metrics, road condition metrics or driver metrics;
analyzing the contextual awareness metrics to determine current driving conditions;
determining whether the current driving conditions are safe;
anddelaying notifying the user of an incoming message when the current driving conditions are determined to not be safe.
