Safety system to disable and activate functions in smartphone's, mobile phones and portable communication devices while driving
Abstract:
The present invention is a safety system that prevents the use of certain Smartphone functions and replace the blocked functions with alternative ways to communicate while in a car. These functions include text, voice (manually dialing to make calls) and internet. Smartphone includes any mobile phone or portable communication device that allows software applications to be downloaded and run on its operating system. The system uses a local RF transmitter located and mounted in the car to send a signal that can be detected by one or all of the Smartphone's in the car. The Smartphone's, which have downloaded the application, will decode the RF signal and disable and/or activate certain functions of the Smartphone. Which functions to disable and/or activate are previously chosen by a user of the downloaded application. By use of this system, young drivers, but not limited to, will not be distracted while driving, and thus forced to pay attention to their surroundings. Therefore automobile accidents will be reduced.
