Abstract:
A method for controlling a wireless terminal, comprising the steps of:receiving an incoming call;detecting a speed of the wireless terminal;generating an alerting signal for the wireless terminal if the speed is equal or less than a predefined speed;determining if the detected speed of the wireless terminal has been equal or less than the predefined speed for a predefined time period; andinhibiting the alerting signal if the detected speed had not been equal or less than the predefined speed for the predefined time period;detecting a call origination actuation on the wireless terminal;determining if the detected speed of the wireless terminal has been equal or less than the predefined speed for a predefined time period;processing a call origination for the wireless terminal in response to the call origination actuation if the detected speed has been equal or less than the predefined speed for the predefined time period; andinhibiting the call origination if the detected speed had not been equal or less than the predefined speed for the predefined time period.
