Abstract

A system for controlling the usage of mobile device in a moving vehicle is disclosed in the present invention. Said system comprises of a GPS device and a cell phone blocker. When said GPS detects the vehicle is in a speed over a pre-determined threshold, said GPS activates said cell phone blocker which blocks the use of cell phones in said vehicle.

Claims

1. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle, comprising a GPS device and a cell phone blocker.

2. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle of claim 1, wherein when said GPS detects said vehicle moves in a speed faster than a pre-determined threshold, said GPS activates said cell phone blocker which emits a signal that blocks said cell phone usage within said vehicle.

3. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle of claim 2, wherein said GPS device is any commercially available device.

4. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle of claim 2, wherein said cell phone blocker is any commercially available cell phone blocker, which is also known as cell phone jammer or forced cell phone call disruption device.

5. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle of claim 2, the cell phone blocker only blocks the cell phone within the vicinity of the driver'"'"'s seat and does not block the cell phones that are located outside of the zone of the driver'"'"'s seat region.

6. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle, comprising a Radio Carrier Frequency (RF) and a cell phone blocker or jamming devise.

7. A system for controlling the use of cell phones in a moving vehicle of claim 6, wherein when in said Radio Carrier Frequency (RF) detects said vehicle moves in a speed faster than a pre-determined threshold, said Radio Carrier Frequency (RF) activates said cell phone blocker or jammer which emits a signal that blocks said cell phone usage within said vehicle.
