Claim 6:
7. A method, comprising:
receiving, via processing circuitry of a mobile electronic device, sleep pattern information that is indicative of a time frame associated with when a user is typically asleep;
receiving, via the processing circuitry, vehicle operation data from one or more vehicle operation sensors of a vehicle associated with driving indicating the user is attempting to start the vehicle;
determining, via the processing circuitry, a risk factor based on the sleep pattern information and the vehicle operation data;
determining, via the processing circuitry, a current time at which the user is attempting to start the vehicle;
receiving, via the processing circuitry, a first sensor data from the mobile electronic device of the user;
receiving, via the processing circuitry, a second sensor data from a sensor associated with a part of the vehicle;
determining, via the processing circuitry, a distance between the part of the vehicle and a position of the mobile electronic device based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data;
determining, via the processing circuitry, that the user is a driver of the vehicle based on the distance between the part of the vehicle and the mobile electronic device being within a threshold distance;
increasing, via the processing circuitry, the risk factor in response to determining that the current time at which the vehicle is being operated corresponds to the time frame associated with when the user is typically asleep; and
performing, via the processing circuitry, an action to prevent the user from operating the vehicle in response to determining that the risk factor is above a threshold.
