Claim Text:
1. A combined cellular telephone and wrist watch, comprising: a wrist watch including a cellular telephone located at said housing and spaced from said wrist band; wherein said cellular telephone comprises a processor located at said housing; a SIM card communicatively coupled to said processor and located within said housing; an antenna communicatively coupled to said SIM card and located at said housing; a rechargeable battery communicatively coupled to said processor and located at said housing; a touch screen panel communicatively coupled to said processor and located at said housing; an alphanumeric keypad communicatively coupled to said touch screen panel and located at said housing; a microphone and speaker system which communicatively coupled to said processor and located at said housing; a plurality of vehicle operating parameter sensors adapted to be in communication with an existing onboard vehicle diagnostic device; a cellular telephone operating mode switch in communication with said vehicle operating parameter sensors; and a memory in communication with said processor and including a computer-executable control logic algorithm for blocking outgoing calls and texts when a user wearing said combined cellular telephone and wrist watch is located within a vehicle having certain operating parameters, said control logic algorithm including the chronological steps of: said vehicle operating parameter sensors detecting, from the vehicle diagnostic detection device, whether an engine of the vehicle is on or off; said vehicle operating parameter sensors detecting, from the vehicle diagnostic detection device, whether the vehicle is in a parked gear; if the vehicle engine is off, said sensors generating and transmitting a first signal to said cellular telephone operating mode switch thereby toggling said cellular telephone to a manual response operating mode; and if the vehicle engine is on and the vehicle is in the parked gear, said sensors generating and transmitting said first signal to said cellular telephone operating mode switch thereby toggling said cellular telephone to said manual response operating mode; and if the vehicle engine is on and the vehicle is not in the parked gear, said sensors generating and transmitting a second signal to said cellular telephone operating mode switch thereby toggling said cellular telephone to an automatic response operating mode; wherein a user of said cellular telephone is permitted to selectively generate, send and receive text and telephone messages while said cellular telephone is at said manual response operating mode; wherein a user of said cellular telephone is prohibited from selectively generating, sending and receiving text and telephone messages while said cellular telephone is at said automatic response operating mode.
