Controlling mobile device calls, text messages and data usage while operating a motor vehicle

A system, comprising:

• a carrier gateway server;
• a session switching network;
• a remote server;
• a base station;
• and
• at least one mobile device connected to the session switching network via the base station,
• wherein the at least one mobile device is configured to attempt to originate a communication comprising at least one of a voice call, text message and mobile data communication from inside a transport, and
• responsive to the attempt, the session switching network is configured to transmit a query to the carrier gateway server, wherein the carrier gateway server is configured to forward a desired destination of the attempted communication and the mobile device location to the remote server which determines whether a policy should be applied to the attempted communication based on a speed event identifying when a transport speed has performed at least one of:
• exceeded a first threshold and fallen below a second threshold,
• wherein the first threshold and the second threshold are dynamically established at the remote server based on a time of the day, a day of a week, a location of the transport, a location of the mobile device, and attributes of a driver of the transport;
• wherein the attributes of the driver comprise one or more of a work function, an age and a driving history;
• and
• wherein the remote server is configured to identify and record a speed event when a transport speed has performed at least one of exceeded a first threshold and fallen below a second threshold, and apply the policy to the communication based on the recorded speed event.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

• querying a carrier gateway server associated with at least one mobile device to identify a remote server, wherein the carrier gateway server informs the remote server of an attempted communication;
• responsive to the attempted communication, the remote server determines whether a policy should be applied to the attempted communication based on a speed event identifying when a transport speed has performed at least one of:
• exceeded a first threshold and fallen below a second threshold;
• wherein the first threshold and the second threshold are dynamically established at the remote server based on a time of the day, a day of a week, a location of the transport, a location of the mobile device, and attributes of a driver of the transport;
• wherein the attributes of the driver comprise one or more of a work function, an age and a driving history;
• wherein the attempted communication comprises at least one of an attempted voice call, text message and mobile data communication from at least one mobile device located in a transport;
• and
• applying the policy, via the remote server, to the communication based on the speed event.
