System and method for determining compromised driving
First Claim
1. A device, for use with a database having stored therein at least one signature corresponding to at least one action of the device within a vehicle, the at least one action compromising driving if performed while a user of the device is driving the vehicle, said device comprising:
- a device location determining component operable to determine whether the device is located in the vehicle;
a parameter detecting component operable to detect a parameter and to generate a parameter signature based on the detected parameter if said device location determining component determines that the device is located in the vehicle;
an accessing component operable to access one of the at least one signature from the database;
a comparing component operable to generate a comparison signal indicating that the device is performing the at least one action based on a comparison of the parameter signature and the at least one signature; and
a mode controlling component operable to instruct the device to operate in a vehicle mode when said location determining component determines that the device is located in the vehicle and the comparison signal determines that the device is performing the at least one action.

Abstract
A device is provided for use with a database having stored therein, a plurality of signatures corresponding to a plurality of actions, respectively. The device includes: a mode determining component that determines whether the device is in a predetermined mode; a device location determining component that determines whether the device is located in a predetermined location; a parameter detecting component operable to detect a predetermined parameter and to generate an action signature based on the detected predetermined parameter; an accessing component operable to access one of the plurality of signatures from the database; and a mode controlling component operable to modify operation of the device based on the comparison signal when said mode determining component determines that the device is operating in the predetermined mode and when the location determining component determines that the device is located in the predetermined location.

8. A method of using a database having stored therein, at least one signature corresponding to at least one action of a device within a vehicle, the at least one action compromising driving if performed by the device while a user of the device is driving the vehicle, said method comprising:
-
determining, via a device location determining component, whether the device is located in the vehicle; detecting, via a parameter detecting component, a parameter; generating, via the parameter detecting component, a parameter signature based on the detected parameter if the device location determining component determines that the device is located in the vehicle; accessing, via an accessing component, one of the at least one signature from the database; generating, via a comparing component, a comparison signal indicating that the device is performing the at least one action based on a comparison of the parameter signature and the at least one signature; and instructing, via a mode controlling component, the device to operate in a vehicle mode when the location determining component determines that the device is located in the vehicle and the comparison signal determines that the device is performing the at least one action. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, for use with a database having stored therein, at least one signature corresponding to at least one action of a device within a vehicle, the at least one action compromising driving if performed by the device while a user of the device is driving the vehicle, the computer-readable instructions being capable of being read by a computer and being capable of instructing the computer to perform the method comprising:
-
determining, via a device location determining component, whether the device is located in the vehicle; detecting, via a parameter detecting component, a parameter; generating, via the parameter detecting component, a parameter signature based on the detected parameter if the device location determining component determines that the device is located in the vehicle; accessing, via an accessing component, one of the at least one signature from the database; generating, via a comparing component, a comparison signal indicating that the device is performing the at least one action based on a comparison of the parameter signature and the at least one signature; and instructing, via a mode controlling component, the device to operate in a vehicle mode when the location determining component determines that the device is located in the vehicle and the comparison signal determines that the device is performing the at least one action. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
