System and method for controlling the use of a handset communication device

A vehicle comprising:

• a detecting component for detecting driving state information of the vehicle;
• and
• a system for controlling use of a handset communication device for communication by a driver while the vehicle is in driving state, comprising:
• a directional antenna for capturing a wireless communication signal of the handset communication device around the driver;
• a judging component for judging whether a driving state of the vehicle is in an unstable state based on predefined criteria and the driving state information of the vehicle, wherein the judging component further judges whether the driving state of the vehicle is affected by the driver of the vehicle using the handset communication device and determines whether there is an obvious change in the driving state information within two time windows before and after the driver uses the handset communication device;
• and
• a control component for transmitting a remote control signal, based on a judging result of the judging component, to intervene in a communication of the handset communication device during a call.
