System and method for driving-aware notification
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for improving driver safety with mobile communications, comprising:
- receiving contextual awareness metrics corresponding to driving by a user of a device, the contextual awareness metrics comprising at least one of road condition metrics corresponding to a structure of a road or driver metrics corresponding to driving behavior associated with the user;
analyzing the contextual awareness metrics to determine current driving conditions;
determining whether the current driving conditions are safe; and
buffering notifications until the current driving conditions are determined to be safe.
