ELECTRONIC DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY MODIFICATION BASED ON SAFETY PARAMETERS ASSOCIATED WITH AN OPERATING STATE OF A VEHICLE
In an example, a method of modifying functionality of an electronic device associated with a vehicle may include assessing one or more safety parameters associated with an operating state of a vehicle. The method may further include modifying functionality of an electronic device associated with the vehicle based on the one or more safety parameters.
1 . A method of modifying functionality of an electronic device associated with a vehicle comprising:
assessing one or more safety parameters associated with an operating state of a vehicle; and
modifying functionality of an electronic device associated with the vehicle based on the one or more safety parameters.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a presence of a potentially dangerous situation associated with the operating state of the vehicle based on the one or more safety parameters.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising restricting the functionality of the electronic device based on the one or more safety parameters.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more safety parameters comprise at least one of speed of the vehicle, traffic congestion surrounding the vehicle, a weather condition, a road condition, a proximate location of an emergency vehicle, a proximate location of a school zone, a road type, presence of a passenger in the vehicle, a proximate location of a pedestrian, a proximate location of a cyclist, a proximate location of another vehicle, a proximate location of a road hazard, a proximate location of a construction cone, a proximate location of a barrier and a proximate location of an animal.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether a passenger is present within the vehicle; and
modifying the functionality of the electronic device based on whether the passenger is present.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises a built-in electronic device of the vehicle.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile electronic device.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the functionality of the electronic device comprises modifying functionality of a user interface of the electronic device.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a warning on a user interface of the electronic device based on the one or more safety parameters.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising analyzing an environment surrounding the vehicle and assessing the one or more safety parameters based on the analysis of the environment.
11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising enabling the functionality of the electronic device based on the one or more safety parameters.
12 . A processor configured to execute computer instructions to cause a system to perform operations for modifying functionality of an electronic device associated with a vehicle, the operations comprising:
assessing one or more safety parameters associated with an operating state of a vehicle; and
modifying functionality of an electronic device associated with the vehicle based on the one or more safety parameters.
13 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a presence of a potentially dangerous situation associated with the operating state of the vehicle based on the one or more safety parameters.
14 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise restricting the functionality of the electronic device based on the one or more safety parameters.
15 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the one or more safety parameters comprise at least one of speed of the vehicle, traffic congestion surrounding the vehicle, a weather condition, a road condition, a proximate location of an emergency vehicle, a proximate location of a school zone, a road type, presence of a passenger in the vehicle, a proximate location of a pedestrian, a proximate location of a cyclist, a proximate location of another vehicle, a proximate location of a road hazard, a proximate location of a construction cone, a proximate location of a barrier and a proximate location of an animal.
16 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
determining whether a passenger is present within the vehicle; and
modifying the functionality of the electronic device based on whether the passenger is present.
17 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the electronic device comprises a built-in electronic device of the vehicle.
18 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile electronic device.
19 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein modifying the functionality of the electronic device comprises modifying functionality of a user interface of the electronic device.
20 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying a warning on a user interface of the electronic device based on the one or more safety parameters.
21 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise analyzing an environment surrounding the vehicle and assessing the one or more safety parameters based on the analysis of the environment.
22 . The processor of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise enabling the functionality of the electronic device based on the one or more safety parameters.
