Title: A method of controlling an automotive communications system
Inventor: JON O'NEIL
IPC: H04W48/02
Filed: 2017-05-08
Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling mobile communications between a motor vehicle and a remote host in order to reduce the probability of driver distraction.  The method comprises analysing the nature of the communication to and from a mobile communications device and analysing vehicle operating information. If the nature of communication indicates that distraction of a driver is probably occurring and analysis of the vehicle operating information indicates that the manner of driving is aggressive, erratic or lazy, then the communication is disabled, after a warning, until a driver initiated event such as key-off or stopping the vehicle occurs. Communication is considered distracting if it comprises expletives, long sentences or words, has a high volume or has a pattern indicating aggressive driver mood or includes texting. The manner of driving may be assessed based on changes in accelerator position, steering wheel position, braking, clutch control, engine speed and gear changes.
