1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a vehicle computing system (VCS), notification of incoming communication on a wireless device communicating with the VCS;
determining that a VCS do-not-disturb function is active;
blocking an incoming communication driver notification;
sending a command from the VCS to the wireless device to silence device notification relating to the incoming communication; and
reporting a stored list of blocked communications when the do-not-disturb function is switched from active to inactive.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a vehicle computing system, a notification that an incoming communication is being sent to a wireless device in communication with the vehicle computing system. The method also includes determining that a do not disturb function is active in the vehicle computing system and blocking a notification to a driver regarding the incoming communication. Finally, this method includes sending a command from the vehicle computing system to the wireless device to silence any notification that the wireless device provides in conjunction with the incoming communication.

7. A vehicle computing system comprising:
-
a processor, operable to execute one or more logic processes; and a storage device, in communication with the processor and operable to relay one or more logic processes stored therein to the processor, the storage device including; at least one receiving process to receive a notification that an incoming communication is being sent to a wireless device in communication with the processor; at least one determining process to determine that a do not disturb routine is active in the processor; at least one blocking process to block a notification to a driver regarding the incoming communication; and at least one silencing process to send a command from the processor to the wireless device to silence any notification that the wireless device provides in conjunction with the incoming communication; at least one storing process to store a list of blocked communications; and at least one reporting process to report the list of blocked communications when a do-not-disturb function is switched from active to inactive. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
