1. A system comprising a server that includes a computer-readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, the instructions comprising management control instructions for:
- receiving a set of one or more positional control parameters, the positional control parameters including at least one of a geographic limit, a velocity limit, and a direction of travel limit;
receiving a control list that identifies at least one feature in a first mobile device;
associating the at least one feature with at least one of the positional control parameters, thereby generating at least one association between one of the features and one of the positional control parameters, the at least one feature being one of a permitted feature and un-permitted feature based on the association; and
associating, in response to the feature being a permitted feature and in response to the feature being a request to communicate with at least one second mobile device, the second mobile device with at least one of a permitted party and an un-permitted party; and
storing the management control instructions in a database.

Abstract
A set of one or more positional control parameters includes at least one of a geographic limit, a velocity limit, and a direction of travel limit. A control list identifies at least one feature in a mobile device. The at least one feature may be associated with at least one of the positional control parameters.

6. A system comprising a first mobile device including a computer-readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:
-
downloading a set of one or more associations between at least one feature in the first mobile device and at least one positional control parameter selected from one of a geographic limit, a velocity limit, and a direction of travel limit; receiving a request to access a specified feature in the first mobile device; determining at least one positional attribute of the first mobile device; determining whether the specified feature is a permitted feature based at least in part on evaluating the specified feature and the positional attribute according to the set of one or more associations; determining, in response to the specified feature being a permitted feature, if the specified feature is a request to communicate with at least one second mobile device; and determining, in response to the specified feature being a request to communicate with the at least one second mobile device, if the second mobile device is a permitted party independent of the permitted feature. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, in a server, a set of one or more positional control parameters, the positional control parameters including at least one of a geographic limit, a velocity limit, and a direction of travel limit; receiving a control list that identifies at least one feature in a first mobile device; associating the at least one feature with at least one of the positional control parameters, thereby generating at least one association between one of the features and one of the positional control parameters, the at least one feature being one of a permitted feature and un-permitted feature based on the association; and associating, in response to the feature being a permitted feature and in response to the feature being a request to communicate with at least one second mobile device, the second mobile device with at least one of a permitted party and an un-permitted party; and storing the management control instructions in a database. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method, comprising:
-
downloading to a first mobile device a set of one or more associations between at least one feature in the first mobile device and at least one positional control parameter selected from one of a geographic limit, a velocity limit, and a direction of travel limit; receiving a request to access a specified feature in the first mobile device; determining at least one positional attribute of the first mobile device; determining whether the specified feature is a permitted feature based at least in part on evaluating the specified feature and the positional attribute according to the set of one or more associations; determining, in response to the specified feature being a permitted feature, if the specified feature is a request to communicate with at least one second mobile device; and determining, in response to the specified feature being a request to communicate with the at least one second mobile device, if the second mobile device is a permitted party independent of the permitted feature. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
