Abstract:
1. A method comprising: storing, by a non-transitory computer-readable data storage device within a wireless communication network configured to provide wireless service to a wireless communication device, a threshold speed, a threshold time, and a hands-free-audio profile of the wireless communication device that can be switched from an enabled state to a disabled state and from the disabled state to the enabled state; determining, by a processor within the wireless communication network, a most-recent speed-condition of the wireless communication device that indicates whether the wireless communication device is moving at a speed greater than the threshold speed and that indicates an amount of consecutive time that the wireless communication device has been stationary or moving at a speed less than the threshold speed; monitoring, by the wireless communication network, a state of the hands-free-audio profile; receiving, by the wireless communication network, a message that indicates an incoming voice call is available for connecting to the wireless communication device; executing, by the processor if the monitored hands-free-audio profile is set to the disabled state and the amount of consecutive time is less than the threshold amount of time, computer-readable program instructions to prevent the incoming voice call from being answered at the wireless communication device; and executing, by the processor if the monitored hands-free-audio profile is set to the enabled state and the amount of consecutive time is less than the threshold amount of time, computer-readable program instructions that cause the wireless communication network to transmit, to the wireless communication network, an alert indicating the voice call is available for answering.
