Claim One:
1. A method for using multiple transceivers for controlling one or more functions or available choices for a mobile communication device, said method comprising: a mobile communication device communicating with a first transceiver of multiple transceivers; said mobile communication device communicating with a second transceiver of said multiple transceivers; wherein said multiple transceivers and said mobile communication device are located inside a vehicle; determining a first signal power level or range indicator, based on a first wireless signal detected by said first transceiver; comparing said first signal power level or range indicator with a first set of thresholds for signal power level or range indicator; determining a second signal power level or range indicator, based on a second wireless signal detected by said second transceiver; comparing said second signal power level or range indicator with a second set of thresholds for signal power level or range indicator; determining position or coordinate of said mobile communication device with respect to said vehicle, based on comparing step of said first signal power level or range indicator with said first set of thresholds for signal power level or range indicator and based on comparing step of said second signal power level or range indicator with said second set of thresholds for signal power level or range indicator; receiving one or more zones in said vehicle; based on step of determining said position or coordinate of said mobile communication device with respect to said vehicle, indicating in-range or out-of-range status of said mobile communication device with respect to said one or more zones in said vehicle; modifying a first set of one or more functions or available choices for said mobile communication device for a first zone of said one or more zones, based on said in-range or out-of-range status of said mobile communication device with respect to said first zone of said one or more zones.
