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.

A method for preventing user interaction with a mobile device, comprising:
- establishing, by a control device located within a vehicle, a connection with the mobile device via an application downloaded to and executing on the mobile device used to prevent user interaction with the mobile device, wherein the control device is to transmit commands to the application to prevent user interaction with one or more functions on the mobile device and wherein the connection enables the control device to communicate with the application and an event notification service native to an operating system (OS) executing on the mobile device;
- receiving, from the event notification service and the application via the connection, an event notification indicative of an initiation of at least one of the one or more functions on the mobile device;
- and
- sending, to the event notification service and the application via the connection, an action responsive to the event notification, wherein the action is a formulated event notification service response by the control device.

A control device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed on the one or more processors, causes the control device to:
- establish a connection with a mobile device via an application downloaded to and executing on the mobile device used to prevent user interaction with the mobile device, wherein the control device is to transmit commands to the application to prevent user interaction with one or more functions on the mobile device and wherein the control device is located in a vehicle, wherein the connection enables the control device to communicate with the application and an event notification service native to an operating system (OS) executing on the mobile device;
- receive, from the event notification service and the application via the connection, an event notification indicative of an initiation of at least one of the one or more functions on the mobile device;
- and
- send, to the event notification service and the application via the connection, an action responsive to the event notification, wherein the action is a formulated event notification service response by the control device.
