1. A mobile communication device comprising:
- a display; and
one or more processors and one or more memories supporting cellular communication, said device comprising a normal mode and at least one focused mode, wherein one or more controllers are configured to;
(A) set, via a user interface (UI) associated with said device, event information for an event, said event information for said event including;
(i) a start time of said event, and (ii) a device mode corresponding to said event, wherein said device mode is selected from the group comprising;
said normal mode and said at least one focused mode; and
(B) at said start time of said event, automatically set a mode of said is device to said device mode corresponding to said event; and
(C) when said event ends and said device was in said at least one focused mode during said event, set the mode of said device to said normal mode,wherein said normal mode is distinct from said at least one focused mode, and wherein, when said device is in said at least one focused mode one or more features of said device are at least partially disabled, andwherein the one or more features of said device that are at least partially disabled in the at least one focused mode include one or more features relating to cellular communications; and
wherein one or more aspects of the controller are integrated with an operating system of said device.

Abstract
Methods, devices and systems support focused driving, working, and studying without distraction. A method of operating a device includes setting event information for an event, the event information for the event including a device mode corresponding to said event. The device mode is selected from the a normal mode and at least one focused mode. At a start time of said event, a mode of the device is automatically set to the device mode corresponding to said event. When the device is in a focused mode, one or more features of said device, including one or more features relating to cellular communications, are at least partially disabled.

12. A method for controlling operation of a device, said device comprising a display, the method comprising:
-
(a) setting, via a user interface (UI) associated with said device, event information for an event, said event information including;
(i) a start time of said event, and (ii) a device mode corresponding to said event, wherein said device mode is selected from the group comprising;
a normal mode and at least one focused mode, wherein said normal mode is distinct from said at least one focused is mode, and wherein, when said device is in said at least one focused mode one or more features of said device are at least partially disabled;(b) at said start time of said event, automatically setting a mode of said device to said device mode corresponding to said event; and (c) when said event ends and said device was in said at least one focused mode during said event, setting the mode of said device to said normal mode. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21)

22. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with one or more computer programs stored therein that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to perform, the operations of:
-
(a) setting, using a user interface (UI), event information for an event, said event information for said event including;
(i) a start time of said event, and (ii) a device mode corresponding to said event, wherein said device mode is selected from the group comprising;
said normal mode and said at least one focused mode, wherein said normal mode is distinct from said at least one focused mode, and wherein, when said device is in said at least one focused mode one or more features of said device are at least partially disabled; and(b) at said start time of said event, automatically setting a mode of said device to said device mode corresponding to said event; and (c) when said event ends and said device was in said at least one focused mode during said event, setting the mode of said device to said normal mode, wherein the one or more features of said device that are at least partially disabled in the at least one focused mode include one or more features relating to communications, and wherein one or more aspects of the one or more computer programs are integrated with an operating system of said device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
