Voice-activated call pick-up for mobile device
First Claim
1. A method for automated sensor-based communication using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving first data from a first sensor;
determining from the first data that the mobile device is located within a vehicle;
receiving second data from a second sensor;
determining from the second data that the vehicle is moving;
receiving third data from a third sensor;
determining from the third data an absence of interaction with one or more physical inputs of the mobile device;
receiving an indication of an incoming telephonic communication being received by the mobile device;
automatically activating a microphone operatively coupled to the mobile device;
receiving one or more voice commands, the one or more voice commands including a command to connect the incoming telephonic communication;
connecting the incoming telephonic communication via the microphone;
receiving an indication that the mobile device disconnected the incoming telephonic communication;
determining from the third data a presence of interaction with the one or more physical inputs of the mobile device; and
disabling the microphone operatively coupled to the mobile device.

Abstract
Disclosed embodiments are directed an application program configured to run on a user'"'"'s mobile device can allow voice-activated call pick-up to the user, without the user having to use his or her hands for picking up the call. For example, the application program can initially be trained to a user'"'"'s voice command. When an incoming call is received at the mobile device, the user can pick up the call by issuing a voice command. In some embodiments, the application program can determine whether to allow voice-activated pick-up of calls based on data collected from multiple sensors associated with the vehicle, the mobile device, or a remote source.
