1. A vehicle computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors of the vehicle computer system located in a vehicle configured to receive context data representative of a vehicle'"'"'s environment from one or more vehicle sensors, wherein the one or more processors are further programmed and configured to;
receive the context data from the sensors and a driver-identifier from a mobile phone in communication with the vehicle computer system;
output an indicator displaying automatic selection of a do-not-disturb (DND) feature in response to an attention demand value based upon the context data and the driver-identifier received from the mobile phone; and
automatically adjust to one of a plurality of configurations, wherein each configuration corresponds to an individual magnitude of inhibiting communication using the DND feature that inhibits communication to a driver.

Abstract
A vehicle computer system includes one or more processors configured to receive context data representative of a vehicle'"'"'s environment from one or more modules. The one or more processors are programmed and configured to receive the context data from one or more modules, determine an attention demand value utilizing the context data and a workload value corresponding to the context data, and output an indicator to activate or adjust a do not disturb feature based on the attention demand value.

5. A vehicle computer system, comprising:
-
one or more processors of the vehicle computer system located in a vehicle configured to receive context data representative of a vehicle'"'"'s environment from one or more vehicle sensors, wherein the one or more processors are further programmed and configured to; receive the context data from the one or more vehicle sensors; and
a driver-identifier from a mobile phone in communication with the vehicle computer systemdetermine an attention demand value based on the context data and the driver-identifier; in response to the determination, output an indicator displaying an automatic selection of a do-not-disturb (DND) feature that inhibits communication to a driver, wherein the feature automatically adjusts a configuration to inhibit communication based on the attention demand value and a communication-type indicative of an alert; and receive the alert to be output at the vehicle, wherein the alert is output if the alert exceeds a threshold of the configuration, or the alert is delayed to be output when the alert does not exceed the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A vehicle system, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; receive context data indicating a vehicle'"'"'s environment from a vehicle sensor and a driver-identifier from a mobile phone connected to the vehicle system; and output, in response to an attention demand value indicating a driver'"'"'s workload using both the context data and the driver-identifier received from the mobile phone, an indicator suggesting user-adjustment of a setting inhibiting communication from the mobile phone. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
