Abstract: A method for managing user interactions with multiple mobile devices is provided. The method includes receiving, at one of the mobile devices, a user input to associate the mobile device with the on-duty vehicle driver, such that all remaining mobile devices within range of an in-vehicle network beacon are passenger mobile devices. The method then includes transmitting, by the driver mobile device, one or more signals to the passenger mobile devices, the one or more signals including a unique identifier and indicating the association of the driver mobile device with the on-duty driver. In response to the one or more signals from the driver mobile device, the passenger mobile devices enforce a different device usage policy (or suspend enforcement of a device usage policy) while a device usage policy on the driver mobile device is enforced to restrict access to functionality on only that device.

Abstract: A method for managing user interactions with a mobile device is provided. The method generally includes the use of notifications and VoIP calls to prompt a user to return to a smartphone application while within a vehicle. The smartphone application, when active as the foreground application, provides a virtual barrier between the driver and other applications, while permitting navigation and call functionality, for example.
