Peripheral specific selection of automated response messages
First Claim
1. A method of using peripheral connection status to select between a plurality of different active auto response replies to incoming messages on a computerized system, said method comprising:
- obtaining a computerized system, and at least one peripheral capable of connecting with said computerized system;
said computerized system comprising at least one processor, memory, at least one wireless network transceiver, computerized system software and automatic reply software running on said at least one processor;
each said at least one peripheral having a peripheral identification code that is individually identifiable by said computerized system when said at least one peripheral is connected to said computerized system;
using said automatic reply software and said at least one processor to assign a plurality of peripheral linked different active automatic replies to incoming messages to at least one peripheral identification code, and storing said plurality of peripheral linked different active automatic replies to incoming messages in said memory;
wherein when said at least one peripheral is connected to said computerized system, said automatic reply software will determine said at least one peripheral'"'"'s peripheral code, and use said at least one peripheral identification code to select and retrieve at least one peripheral linked different active automatic reply to incoming messages from said plurality of peripheral linked different active automatic replies to incoming messages from said memory; and
wherein in response to an incoming message obtained from said transceiver, using a selected and retrieved at least one peripheral linked different active automatic reply to incoming messages to automatically respond to said incoming message.

Abstract
Software and computer processor implemented system and method of providing customized automated responses to different types of incoming electronic messages from various contact sources, particularly useful for preventing distracted driving. Here the invention'"'"'s software, often in the form of an app, runs on a smartphone or other computerized device configured to automatically connect to various peripherals, such as automobile associated Bluetooth peripherals. When operating, the app causes connected peripherals to automatically trigger auto response mode in response to incoming messages. Optionally, different automated responses to be assigned to different peripheral identification codes or different incoming message originators. Various prioritization schemes, such as last peripheral connected dominates, and various ways in which different contact specific automated responses may interact with various peripheral specific automated responses, are also discussed.
