Systems and methods for automatically disabling mobile device usage while driving
First Claim
1. A system implemented on one or more processors for automatically disabling mobile device usage while driving comprising:
- at least one subsystem configured for determining whether a mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold and maintaining a record of the determination;
at least one subsystem configured for disabling a functionality of the mobile device if it is determined that the mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than the predetermined threshold; and
at least one subsystem for automatically relaying a message to a third party indicating the functionality is disabled.

Abstract
A system implemented on one or more processors for automatically disabling mobile device usage while driving may comprise at least one subsystem configured for determining whether a mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold and at least one subsystem configured for disabling a functionality of the mobile device if it is determined that the mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than the predetermined threshold. The at least one subsystem configured for determining whether a mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold may comprise at least one subsystem configured for receiving output data from an accelerometer on the mobile device and at least one subsystem configured for using said data to determine a current speed of the mobile device.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium for automatically disabling mobile device usage while driving comprising computer executable instructions for:
-
determining whether a mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold; determining whether there is a transmission in progress on the mobile device if it is determined that the mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than the predetermined threshold; maintaining a record of the speed and transmission determinations; and playing an audio warning on the mobile device if it is determined that there is a transmission in progress on the mobile while the mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system implemented on one or more processors for automatically disabling mobile device usage while driving comprising:
-
at least one subsystem configured for receiving information at an insurance provider regarding whether the mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold; at least one subsystem configured for automatically adjusting an automobile insurance premium based on said information regarding whether the mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold; and at least one subsystem configured for enabling a feature on the mobile device for determining whether a mobile device is traveling at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold based on information received at the insurance provider regarding whether an automobile key associated with the mobile device is inserted into an automobile ignition and maintaining a record of the speed determination and automobile key insertion information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
