The system and method may include receiving location information, at a service provider, from a wireless communications device. The location information may be communicated to a database that is able to determine communications permissions based upon some predetermined criteria, such as time, date, and location. Based upon the received location information and a related database record, permissions for the wireless communications device may be determined. The determined permissions may be communicated to the service provider. The wireless communications device may be notified about restrictions on its communications, in response to receiving the permissions. The permissions determination may be repeated, as necessary, in response to receiving updated location information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A database management system, said database management system comprising: a processor; a memory; data; said data being stored by the memory and accessible by the processor; said processor configured to: receive location information associated with a wireless communications device from a service provider; determine permissions, based upon the received location information and a related database record; communicate the determined permissions to the service provider; and repeat the permissions determination, in response to receiving updated location information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The database management system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to notify the wireless communications device about restrictions on communications, in response to receiving the communicated determined permissions. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The database management system according to claim 2, wherein, in notifying the wireless communications device about restrictions, the database management system is further configured to notify the wireless communications device that no text messaging capabilities are presently allowed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The database management system according to claim 1, wherein, in receiving the location information of a wireless communications device, the processor is further configured to receive one or more updates of current location coordinates. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The database management system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to notify a user, currently using an application on the wireless communications device, that use of the application is currently being restricted. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The database management system according to claim 5, wherein the notification is a message displayed on the wireless communications device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The database management system according to claim 1, wherein, in determining permissions, the database management system is further operable to determine whether a wireless communications device, continuing on the same trajectory, is anticipated to enter a location where a restriction upon permissions is in place. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The database management system according to claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to notify a user of the wireless communications device that a restriction will likely be put in place if the user continues on the same trajectory. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The database management system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to queue time insensitive communications while restrictions on communicating the time insensitive communications is currently in place. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The database management system according to claim 9, wherein the time insensitive communications include in-bound text messages. ### Claim 11 A method for validating communications permissions for an in progress communication, said method comprising: receiving location information, at a service provider, from a wireless communications device; communicating the location information to a database operable to determine communications permissions based upon predetermined criteria; determining permissions, based upon the received location information and a related database record; communicating the determined permissions to the service provider; and repeating the permissions determination, in response to receiving updated location information. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising notifying the wireless communications device about restrictions on communications, in response to receiving the communicated determined permissions. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method according to claim 12, wherein notifying the wireless communications device about restrictions includes notifying the wireless communications device that no text messaging capabilities are presently allowed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein receiving the location information, includes receiving one or more updates of current location coordinates. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising notifying a user, currently using an application on the wireless communications device, that use of the application is currently being restricted. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method according to claim 15, wherein notifying the user includes displaying a message on the wireless communications device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein determining permissions further includes determining whether a wireless communications device continuing on the same trajectory is anticipated to enter a location where a restriction upon permissions is in place. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method according to claim 17, further including notifying a user of the wireless communications device that a restriction will likely be put in place if the user continues on the same trajectory. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further including queuing time insensitive communications while restrictions on communicating the time insensitive communication is currently in place. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method according to claim 19, wherein time insensitive communication includes in-bound text messages.
