Text message control system

One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a first device being a mobile computing device, which is configured to receive or send a text message over a cellular network, to:

• transmit, to a network computing device, a first location of the mobile computing device to cause the network computing device to:
• transmit, to a server, the first location to retrieve at least one of specific weather information, specific traffic information, or specific road condition information indicating a first driving situation for a vehicle;
• determine a first access level based on at least one of the specific weather information, the specific traffic information, or the specific road condition information;
• transmit the first access level to the mobile computing device;
• and
• communicate, with a second device within the vehicle associated with a passenger, to obtain information from the second device indicating that a user of the mobile computing device is driving the vehicle;
• receive an incoming text message during a drive;
• determine, based on a sender of the incoming text message, a sender priority level;
• and
• block, based on the first access level and the sender priority level, and based on the information indicating that the user is driving the vehicle, the incoming text message from being output to the user of the mobile computing device during the drive.

A method comprising:

• transmitting, by a first device being a mobile computing device to a network computing device, a first location of the mobile computing device to cause the network computing device to:
• transmit, to a server, the first location to retrieve at least one of specific weather information, specific traffic information, or specific road condition information indicating a first driving situation for a vehicle;
• communicate with a second device within the vehicle to obtain information from the second device indicating that a user of the mobile computing device is driving the vehicle;
• determine a first access level based on at least a driving behavior history associated with a driver of the vehicle;
• and
• transmit the first access level to the mobile computing device;
• receiving, by the mobile computing device, an incoming text message during a drive;
• determining, by the mobile computing device based on a sender of the incoming text message, a sender priority level;
• and
• blocking, by the mobile computing device based on the first access level and the sender priority level, the incoming text message from being output to a user of the mobile computing device during the drive.
