Managing device functionality during predetermined conditions

A method comprising:

• determining, by a processor, locations and an estimated speed at which a wireless communication device travels;
• determining the locations encircle a coverage area of a single cellular tower;
• retrieving from memory a threshold speed;
• storing a database that associates different locations to functional restrictions;
• querying the database for one of the locations;
• determining the one of the locations match a school zone in the database;
• retrieving an illegal functionality from the database that is associated with the school zone;
• determining, by the processor, the estimated speed exceeds zero;
• disabling one of the operational features of the mobile device that corresponds to the illegal functionality in response to the one of the locations matching the school zone at any speed;
• disabling a set of the operational features of the mobile device in response to the locations encircling the coverage area of the single cellular tower;
• retrieving parental controls governing operational features of the mobile device;
• querying the parental controls for the speed at which the mobile device travels;
• retrieving parental rules associated with excessive speed;
• and
• modifying another one of the operational features of the wireless communications device according to the parental rules.

A memory storing instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• determining locations and an estimated speed at which a wireless communication device travels;
• determining the locations encircle a coverage area of a single cellular tower;
• determining the speed exceeds a threshold;
• storing a database that associates different locations to functional restrictions;
• querying the database for one of the locations;
• determining the one of the locations match a school zone in the database;
• retrieving an illegal functionality from the database that is associated with the school zone;
• retrieving parental controls governing operational features of the wireless communication device;
• disabling one of the operational features of the mobile device that corresponds to the illegal functionality in response to the one of the locations matching the school zone at any speed;
• disabling a set of the operational features of the mobile device in response to the locations encircling the coverage area of the single cellular tower;
• querying the parental controls for the speed at which the wireless communication device travels;
• retrieving parental rules associated with excessive speed;
• and
• modifying another one of the operational features of the wireless communication device according to the parental rules.
