• capturing, by the camera of the mobile device, an image of the user while the specified orientation is maintained;
• determining whether one or more disallowed movements has occurred between the positioning of the mobile device in the specified orientation and the capture of the image;
• and
• upon determining that the one or more of the disallowed movements has not occurred between the positioning of the mobile device and the capture of the image, disabling the blocking of the user interaction with the one or more functions of the mobile device.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed on one or more processors, causes a mobile device to:

• prompt, in response to a request to disable blocking of a user interaction with one or more functions of a mobile device of a user in a vehicle, a positioning of a camera of the mobile device in a specified orientation, the positioning of the camera being focused on the user;
• capture, by the camera of the mobile device, an image of the user while the specified orientation is maintained;
• determine whether one or more disallowed movements has occurred between the positioning of the mobile device in the specified orientation and the capture of the image;
• and
• upon a determination that the one or more of the disallowed movements has not occurred between the positioning of the mobile device and the capture of the image, disable the blocking of the user interaction with the one or more functions of the mobile device.
