This invention provides a mechanism for enhancing safe use of wireless mobile terminals (smartphones) in a moving vehicle. The Invoke facility service's Boolean expression controls the conditions which invoke smartphone apps into execution. Smartphone apps, which are dangerous to execute in a moving vehicle, are prevented from invocation. Elimination of all smartphone apps in moving vehicles is inadvisable. An app, deploying an accelerometer to sense the impact of a serious collision to call “911” with a recorded message and provides the vehicle's GPS location, is an example. This invention allows an app builder to select invocation conditions for apps. Significant is the use manner of the operation “Not”. The contradiction of an event is also an event meaning that if an event is false, its contradictory event is true. Another important aspect is the conjunctive operation “And Then”. This operation implies an efficient algorithm to evaluate Boolean expressions.
A process, residing in the memory of a Smartphone or cellular phone, that is used to invoke a compound wireless mobile communication service also known as a Smartphone app or its diminutive app, by using a Boolean expression of events, which when a combination of events that either occur or events that do not occur result in a “True” evaluation of the Boolean expression, the aforementioned compound wireless mobile communication service will commence its execution, where the Boolean expression is contained within a service termed Invoke facility service;
