Abstract
Functionality of a mobile device may be controlled based on speed and/or location. Rules define functional capabilities, and restrictions, based on speed and/or location. File access may also be based on speed and/or location.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device, a global positioning system information generated by a global positioning system;
- querying, by the mobile device, an electronic database for at least one audio file associated with the global positioning system information, the electronic database associating audio files to locations;
- identifying, by the mobile device, the at least one audio file specified by the electronic database that is associated with the global positioning system information;
- enabling, by the mobile device, a location-based audio selection feature associated with an audio system, the location-based audio selection feature limiting the audio system to a playback of only the at least one audio file specified by the electronic database that is associated with the global positioning system information;
- and
- prohibiting, by the mobile device, the audio system from the playback of any other ones of the audio files that are not associated with the global positioning system information.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a hardware processor;
- a global positioning system interfacing with the hardware processor;
- and
- a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a global positioning system (GPS) information generated by the global positioning system;
- querying an electronic database to identify audio files, the electronic database associating the audio files to locations including the GPS information generated by the global positioning system;
- enabling a GPS-based audio selection feature associated with an audio system, the GPS-based audio selection feature limiting the audio system to a playback of only the audio files specified by the electronic database that are associated with the global positioning system information;
- and
- disabling the audio system from the playback of any other ones of the audio files that are not associated with the global positioning system information.
6 more elements
A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a global positioning system information generated by a global positioning system;
- identifying a selection of music files in an electronic database that is associated with the global positioning system information, the electronic database electronically associating the global positioning system information to selections of the music files including the selection of the music files;
- enabling a GPS-based audio selection feature associated with an audio system, the GPS-based audio selection feature limiting the audio system to a playback of the selection of the music files identified in the electronic database that is associated with the global positioning system information;
- and
- disabling the audio system from the playback of any other ones of the music files in the electronic database that are not associated with the global positioning system information.
