20120071151 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY RESTRICTING IN-VEHICLE MOBILE DEVICE USAGE - Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. Such determinations include determining an in-vehicle role, an in-vehicle location, a handheld state, and a vehicle class. Various transformations, modifications, and outputs can result from such determinations. Also disclosed are systems and methods for restricting operation of a mobile device, including restrictions that impede operation by a driver moreso than operation by a passenger. Also disclosed are systems and methods for orienting a coordinate system of a mobile device. | 03-22-2012 |
20130295901 | System and Method for Sensor-Based Determination of User Role, Location, and/or State of One of More In-Vehicle Mobile Devices and Enforcement of Usage Thereof - Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. Such determinations include determining an in-vehicle role, an in-vehicle location, a handheld state, and a vehicle class. Various transformations, modifications, and outputs can result from such determinations. Also disclosed are systems and methods for restricting operation of a mobile device, including restrictions that impede operation by a driver moreso than operation by a passenger. Also disclosed are systems and methods for orienting a coordinate system of a mobile device. | 11-07-2013 |
20130344859 | DEVICE CONTEXT DETERMINATION IN TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER SCENARIOS - Systems and methods are provided for context determination. In one implementation one or more indications can be received, each of the one or more indications corresponding to a perception of one or more access points in relation to a user device. The one or more indications can be processed to determine one or more characteristics of at least one of the one or more access points. Based on the one or more characteristics, a context of the user device can be determined. | 12-26-2013 |
20140287738 | In-Vehicle Device Location Determination and Enforcement of Usage Thereof - Systems and methods are disclosed for computing various determinations at one or more mobile devices and/or central machines. In part, such determinations are computed based on analysis of one or more inputs originating at one or more sensors of one or more devices. Such determinations include determining an in-vehicle role, an in-vehicle location, a handheld state, and a vehicle class. Various transformations, modifications, and outputs can result from such determinations. Also disclosed are systems and methods for restricting operation of a mobile device, including restrictions that impede operation by a driver moreso than operation by a passenger. Also disclosed are systems and methods for orienting a coordinate system of a mobile device. | 09-25-2014 |
20150141043 | CORRECTIVE NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS - Systems and methods are provided for corrective navigation instructions are. In one implementation, an operation associated with a relatively lower likelihood of compliance can be identified from a set of navigational operations. One or more notifications corresponding to the operation can be provided. | 05-21-2015 |
20150177010 | SUPPRESSED NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS - Systems and methods are provided for suppressed navigation instructions. In one implementation, a first set of navigational operations between an origin and a destination can be received, an alternative set of navigational operations between the origin and the destination can be received, the alternative set of navigational operations can be compared with the first set of navigational operations to identify one or more operations included in the alternative set of navigational operations that deviate from the first set of navigational operations, and one or more of the one or more operations included in the alternative set of navigational operations that deviate from the first set of navigational operations can be provided. | 06-25-2015 |
20150241231 | NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS - Systems and methods are provided for improved navigation instructions. In one implementation instructions between two locations can be computed, the instructions can be processed in relation to previously computed instructions between the same locations and/or a previously traveled route between the same locations to determine disparitie(s) therebetween, a notification can be generated based on the disparitie(s), an interface at which to provide the notification can be selected and the notification can be provided via the selected interface. In another implementation, one set of instructions between two locations can be received, another set of instructions between two other locations can be received, the sets of instructions can be processed to determine disparities between them with respect to one or more locations, a notification can be generated based on the one or more disparities, and the notification can be provided in relation to the location(s) via a selected interface. | 08-27-2015 |
20150312404 | DEVICE CONTEXT DETERMINATION - Systems and methods are provided for context determination. In one implementation one or more indications can be received, each of the one or more indications corresponding to a perception of one or more access points in relation to a user device. The one or more indications can be processed to determine one or more characteristics of at least one of the one or more access points. Based on the one or more characteristics, a context of the user device can be determined. | 10-29-2015 |
