System and method for controlling mobile services using sensor information
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling access to functions available to respective ones of a plurality of user devices, comprising:
- receiving service requests from the user devices;
allowing or disallowing each of the user devices to access the respective requested function based on an application of pre-defined matching rules for matching access policies of the respective user devices with a respective representation of an environment for each of the user devices, each of the representations being based on information obtained from updates periodically received from the respective user devices, the information including state information concerning a physical environment of the respective user devices obtained from one or more sensors associated with the respective user devices.

Abstract
A system includes a database of image data associated with a vehicle; and control logic configured to cause a user device to capture one or more images and compare data associated with the one or more images with the image data to determine if a user is present in a vehicle and disable a text messaging function at least in part responsive to the determination using the image data.

14. A server platform, comprising:
-
a representation database for storing environmental sensory data obtained from transmissions received from a plurality of user devices; a user profile database for storing pre-defined matching rules for matching access policies of user devices with a respective representation of an environment for each of the user devices, each of the representations being based on the environmental sensory data stored in the representation database; a network interface for receiving the environmental sensory data and requests from the user devices to access one or more functions of the user devices; a recognition engine for allowing or disallowing each of the user devices to access the respective requested functions based on a matching of the pre-defined matching rules with the respective representation of the environment for each of the user devices. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A service delivery platform, comprising:
-
an environment map storing a representation of an environment of each of a plurality of user devices, each of the representations being based on information obtained from resource updates periodically received from the respective user devices, the information including (i) attributes of external resources currently available to the respective user devices and (ii) state information concerning a physical environment of the respective user devices obtained from one or more sensors associated with the respective user devices; a resource profile unit containing pre-defined pattern matching rules for matching the information obtained from the respective user devices with one or more profiles; and a recognition unit for associating the one or more profiles with the one or more respective user devices based on the matching; and wherein the profiles control and manage actions performed by the user device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
