  • Patent number: 11366708
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for managing predetermined functions on a mobile device within a moving vehicle, the mobile device having an operating system (OS) that includes an event API installed therein that is configured for two-way communication with an external control device, the control device being installed within the vehicle and further configured to communicate with a software application installed and running in memory resident on the mobile device. In response to initiation of a predetermined function on the mobile device, a notification message is transmitted by the event API to the control device. The control device then communicates with the software application to determine a desired action for the mobile device to take with respect to the predetermined function. The control device then instructs the mobile device on the action to take on the predetermined function by transmitting an action message to the event API.

  • Patent number: 11119836
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for managing predetermined functions on a mobile device within a moving vehicle. A control device in a vehicle establishes a connection with the mobile device. The control device receives, from an event notification service via the connection, an event notification indicative of an initiation of one of the functions on the mobile device. The control device sends an action responsive to the event notification to the mobile device via the connection.
