Method for suspending transmission and reception of text messages and phone calls

A method for obtaining a vehicle related information by a safe driving compliance application stored on a smart-phone comprising:

• embedding the vehicle related information into a QR-code;
• attaching said QR-code to the vehicle;
• and
• scanning said information into the safe driving compliance application of the smart-phone, and wherein said information contains:
• type of the vehicle including at least one of an automobile, a fleet vehicle, a train;
• the vehicle hands-free capabilities;
• the vehicle near field communications (NFC) capabilities;
• the vehicle terms-of-use;
• contact information of recipients of the vehicle terms-of-use violations;
• and promotional materials.

A safe driving compliance system for supervising of safe driving, comprising:

• a safe driving compliance application stored on a smart-phone consisting a plurality of parameters associated with and corresponding to a vehicle and included into a QR-code attached to the vehicle;
• and wherein the plurality of the parameters include all of the following:
• type of the vehicle including at least one of an automobile, a fleet vehicle, a train;
• the vehicle hands-free communication equipment capability;
• the vehicle near field communication (NFC) capability;
• the vehicle terms-of-use;
• emergency and insurance company contact list containing plurality of recipients of violation or accident reports;
• and
• wherein said parameters in conjunction with the vehicle speed information are used by the safe driving compliance application to suspend all incoming and outgoing communication between the smart-phone of a driver of the vehicle and cellular network when the vehicle is in motion and the smart-phone of the driver is not communicating through the vehicle hands-free communication equipment.

A non-transitory computer accessible memory medium for storing program instruction of a safe driving compliance application system, wherein the program instructions performs all of the following:

• obtaining information related to a vehicle by scanning a QR-code attached to the vehicle;
• establishing communication between driver identification unit installed inside the vehicle and a near field communication (NFC) transceiver of a smart-phone of a driver of the vehicle;
• establishing communication between the vehicle hands-free equipment and the smart-phone Bluetooth transceiver;
• obtaining the vehicle velocity by analyzing output of the smart-phone channel estimation function;
• detecting occurrence of an accident by analyzing instantaneous change in acceleration vector measured by the smart-phone accelerometer;
• suspending, based on the information, communication originated or terminated by the smart-phone of the driver of the vehicle, or originated or terminated by a passenger of the vehicle but continued by the driver while the vehicle is in motion, based on the vehicle velocity and the acceleration vector, and said communication is not conducted using the vehicle hands-free communication equipment;
• and sending report of violation or an accident, based on the vehicle velocity and the acceleration vector, to recipients of the violation reports in a SMS messages.
