DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method of wireless policy enforcement management of a mobile device having one or more wireless communication capabilities from the group consisting of data services and voice services, the method comprising:
- providing a software application for execution by the mobile device;
pre-defining a first set of specific capabilities the mobile device will be able to run during a non-transit setting;
pre-defining a second set of specific capabilities the mobile device will be able to run during an in-transit setting and storing such second set on a remote server as the mobile policy file;
pre-defining a start trip speed in the software application;
receiving and processing sensory data from the mobile device to determine when the mobile device meets or exceeds the pre-defined start trip speed;
sending a signal to the remote server upon the mobile device meeting or exceeding the pre-defined start trip speed;
the remote server pushing the mobile policy file to the mobile device and temporarily overriding the non-transit setting; and
monitoring the user'"'"'s interactions with the mobile device while in the in-transit setting.

12. A method for remotely applying pre-defined policies to a mobile device on the basis of the speed the mobile device is travelling, comprising:
-
enrolling the mobile device in the system; providing a software application for execution by the mobile device, the mobile device characterized by having one or more wireless communication capabilities from the group consisting of data services and voice services and associated with a navigation component that provides navigation data; pre-defining a first set of specific capabilities the mobile device will be able to run during a non-transit setting and storing such first set on a server as the user'"'"'s non-motion policy file; pre-defining a second set of specific capabilities the mobile device will be able to run during an in-transit setting and storing such second set on the server as the user'"'"'s mobile policy file; upon determining the mobile device is travelling at or above a pre-configured start trip speed, pushing the user'"'"'s mobile policy file to the mobile device and temporarily overwriting user'"'"'s non-motion policy file; and monitoring the user'"'"'s interactions with the mobile device while in the in-transit setting; and gathering hardware and software sensory data including GPS, accelerometer, and hardware unique data elements while in the in-transit setting. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
