1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor;
a user interface coupled to the processor; and
memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to;
receive, over a wireless connection to the Internet, an auction notification for an online auction;
display, via the user interface to a user of a vehicle, the auction notification for the online auction that includes a selectable option to place a bid on the online auction over the wireless connection to the Internet, wherein the selectable option includes a bid increment for the online auction;
receiving, over a wireless communication connection, speed information received from a speedometer sensor coupled to the vehicle;
determine, based on the received speed information, a speed of the vehicle;
dynamically alter the bid increment based on the speed of the vehicle, wherein dynamically altering the bid increment includes one or more of;
increasing the bid increment in response to the speed of the vehicle increasing, and decreasing the bid increment in response to the speed of the vehicle decreasing; and
display, via the user interface, a revised selectable option to place a bid on the online auction over the wireless connection to the Internet, the revised selectable option including the altered bid increment.

Abstract
A method of dynamically altering a user interface based on safety level is provided. A user interface is provided to a user in a vehicle with the user interface including a selectable option to wirelessly place a bid on an electronic auction. The selectable option is based, at least in part, on an auction parameter. A safety level score is then determined for the vehicle. The auction parameter is then dynamically altered based on the speed of the vehicle, resulting in a change to the selectable option.
