Abstract
Disclosed are a system and method of regulating access to devices that can distract a driver that is operating a motor vehicle based on received Vehicle-to-Everything communications including Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure information. One example method may include determining a vehicle is approaching a vehicle movement restriction location requiring a vehicle movement restriction, determining an amount of time associated with the vehicle movement restriction, and determining whether a device located inside the vehicle will be made accessible to a user during the vehicle movement restriction based on the amount of time associated with the vehicle movement restriction.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- identifying an amount of time associated with a movement restriction of a vehicle based on a location of the vehicle;
- identifying that the amount of time is above or below a threshold period of time;
- and
- determining whether a device located inside the vehicle will be made accessible to a user based on whether the amount of time is above or below the threshold period of time;
- responsive to the amount of time being above the threshold period of time, limiting access to the user device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- identify an amount of time associated with a movement restriction of a vehicle based on a location of the vehicle;
- identify that the amount of time is above or below a threshold period of time;
- and
- determine whether a device located inside the vehicle will be made accessible to a user based on whether the amount of time is above or below the threshold period of time;
- responsive to the amount of time being above the threshold period of time, limit access to the user device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor configure the processor to perform:
- identifying an amount of time associated with a movement restriction of a vehicle based on a location of the vehicle;
- identifying that the amount of time is above or below a threshold period of time;
- and
- determining whether a device located inside the vehicle will be made accessible to a user based on whether the amount of time is above or below the threshold period of time
- responsive to the amount of time being above the threshold period of time, limiting access to the user device.
