  • Method and system for limiting the functionality of a mobile electronic device
    Patent number: 8559934
    Abstract: In a method for assuring compliance with a mandated requirement, a control component resident in said mobile electronic device is implemented in response to receiving an indication to limit the operation of the mobile electronic device in a moving vehicle. A position determining component disposed within the mobile electronic device is used to determine the speed of the mobile electronic device. The speed of the mobile electronic device is determined to exceed a speed threshold and the functionality of the mobile electronic device is restricted based upon the determination that the speed threshold has been exceeded.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for limiting the functionality of a mobile electronic device
    Patent number: 8306551
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention recite a method and system for limiting the functionality of a mobile electronic device. In one embodiment, a position determining component disposed within the mobile electronic device is used to determine the speed of the mobile electronic device. It is then determined that the speed of the mobile electronic device exceeds a speed threshold. Based upon determining that the speed of the mobile electronic device exceeds the speed threshold, the functionality of said mobile electronic device is restricted.
