The system (1100) comprises a mobile device (1107) for a vehicle (1000), a connected vehicle device (135) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle (1000), and an off vehicle source selected from a database, a cloud source, or a physical structure. The system (1100) is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content with on-vehicle data in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the mobile device (1107) over the secure wireless network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for controlling a function of a mobile device over a secure wireless network, the system comprising: a mobile device for a vehicle; a connected vehicle device (CVD) comprising on-vehicle data for a vehicle; and at least one off vehicle source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device; wherein the system is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content with on-vehicle data in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the mobile device over a secure wireless network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the mobile device comprises a remote profile manager (RPM) toolset, wherein the RPM is configured to execute the plurality of dynamic, temporal combinations to access vehicle, timing, event, and/or positioning (“VTEP”) data to inform the plurality of instruction sets communicated by the assigning authority engine, and wherein the RPM is configured to use one or more elements of the VTEP data to synchronize on-vehicle data elements or a computational output of the off-vehicle content, to generate a new information data set combination. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 further comprising an assigning authority, wherein the assigning authority instructs the mobile device for permitted actions by an operator of the vehicle and/or time frames for the permitted actions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3 wherein the assigning authority is configured to adapt to a present environment based on data from the RPM. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The system according to claim 2 wherein the RPM is configured to provide edge self-healing to the mobile device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the at least one off-vehicle source is at least one cloud source selected from the group comprising a public cloud source, a private cloud source, a hybrid cloud source, or a multi-cloud source. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the at least one off-vehicle source is at least one physical infrastructure with the communication device selected from the group comprising a building, a gate, an access controlled point of entry, a parking structure, a weigh station, a toll collection structure, a fueling equipment and a vehicle service equipment. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the at least one off-vehicle source is at least one database and a mobile application operating on a mobile device, and the data originates from the mobile application. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3 wherein the assigning authority is configured to authorize the at least one cloud source to directly receive data from or provide data to the CVD, an authorized cloud provider, or an authorized user granted access by the assigning authority. ### Claim 10 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3 wherein the assigning authority is configured to enable, disable or manage the at least one function of the mobile device over a secure wireless network based on VTEP data. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system according to claim 10 wherein the VTEP data includes at least one of gear position, speed, fuel level, rotations per minute, location, drive status, seatbelt use, windshield wiper function. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein enabling, disabling, and managing functions comprises at least one application, at least one feature, or at least one widget. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system according to claim 12 wherein enabling, disabling, or managing functionality is based on an operator profile. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein enabling, disabling, and managing functions comprises enabling, disabling, and managing functions of a user interface page in an mobile application on the mobile device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The system according to claim 12 wherein enabling, disabling, or managing functionality is based on an operator positioned away from the vehicle. ### Claim 16 A method for controlling a function of a mobile device over a secure wireless network, the method comprising: accessing, from at least one off vehicle source, off-vehicle content at a mobile device for a vehicle; accessing, from a connected vehicle device (CVD), on-vehicle data for a vehicle at the mobile device for a vehicle; and combining the off-vehicle content with the on-vehicle data in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the mobile device over a secure wireless network; wherein the at least one off vehicle source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16 wherein the mobile device comprises a remote profile manager (RPM) toolset, wherein the RPM is configured to execute the plurality of dynamic, temporal combinations to access vehicle, timing, event, and/or positioning (“VTEP”) data to inform the plurality of instruction sets communicated by the assigning authority engine, and wherein the RPM is configured to use one or more elements of the VTEP data to synchronize on-vehicle data elements or a computational output of the off-vehicle content, to generate a new information data set combination. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method according to claim 16 further comprising transmitting instructions, from an assigning authority to the mobile device, for permitted actions by an operator of the vehicle and/or time frames for the permitted actions. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method according to claim 17 further comprising adapting at an assigning authority to a present environment based on data from the RPM. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The method according to claim 17 further comprising providing, at the RPM, edge self-healing to the mobile device. ### Claim 21 A system for controlling a function of a mobile device over a secure wireless network, the system comprising: a mobile device for a vehicle, the mobile device comprising a mobile application; a connected vehicle device (CVD) comprising on-vehicle data for a vehicle; and at least one off vehicle source selected from a group comprising at least one database, at least one cloud source, or at least one physical structure with a communication device; wherein the mobile application is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content with on-vehicle data in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the mobile device.
