Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. The referenced methods can include operations such as: receiving one or more inputs, processing the one or more inputs to determine a quantity of occupants within a vehicle, and transforming a first operation state of a device present within the vehicle based on a determination that the quantity of occupants within the vehicle is not greater than one.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving one or more inputs;
- processing, by a processing device, the one or more inputs to determine a quantity of occupants within a vehicle;
- identifying a time interval during which it is determined that a user of a device present within the vehicle is likely to be a driver of the vehicle;
- and
- based on a determination that the quantity of occupants within the vehicle is not greater than one, transforming a first operation state of the device during the identified time interval.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- receive one or more inputs;
- process the one or more inputs to determine a quantity of occupants within a vehicle;
- and
- based on a determination that the quantity of occupants within the vehicle is not greater than one, employ, in relation to a device present within the vehicle, a restriction that impedes user operation of the device while the device is oriented outside of a defined orientation and does not impede user operation of the device while the device is oriented within the defined orientation.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- employ, in relation to a device present within the vehicle, a first restriction that impedes user operation of the device while the device is oriented outside of a defined orientation and does not impede user operation of the device while the device is oriented within the defined orientation;
- receive one or more inputs;
- process the one or more inputs to determine a quantity of occupants within the vehicle;
- and
- based on a determination that the quantity of occupants within the vehicle is greater than one, modify the first restriction.
