Motion based message delivery
The present disclosure relates to motion based message delivery. A method includes receiving an information about an asset, calculating the time required for an asset to reach a safe zone, displaying the time required for an asset to reach a safe zone, displaying a communication options to communicate with a person operating the asset, and displaying a map incorporating the location of the asset, a graphical indicator of the time required to reach a safe zone, and/or a graphical indicator of communication options. Another method may include receiving a request to communicate, determining if the communication originates from, or is directed to, an asset in a safe zone, placing the communication if the asset is in the safe zone, and/or delaying the communication until the asset is in a safe zone.
1. A method for displaying information relating to communication with a communication device, comprising:
receiving communication device information at a computing device relating to the communication device, the communication device information comprising communication device location, speed, and communication options, wherein the communication device is associated with a vehicle;
calculating an estimated time for the communication device to reach a safe zone, based at least in part on the received communication device information;
displaying, by the computing device, a map incorporating the location, time required for the communication device to reach the safe zone, and communication options of the communication device;
requesting to communicate with the communication device; and
delaying communication based at least in part on the received communication device information with the communication device if it is determined by the computing device that the communication device is not in the safe zone, wherein the safe zone is determined by the computing device at least in part using: the vehicle stops, the vehicle arrives at a specific location, a vehicle speed falls below a threshold, and the vehicle is within a predefined area;
wherein the communication options comprise at least one of a text, email, and voice communication.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculating is based at least in part upon the distance between the communication device and the safe zone.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculating is accomplished at least in part by the computing device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication device information relating to the communication device is received from an on board device via a network.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising communicating with the communication device based at least in part on the received communication device information.
6. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program instructions executable by a computing device that, when executed by the computing device, direct the computing device to:
receive communication device information at the computing device relating to a communication device, the communication device information comprising communication device location, speed, and communication options, wherein the communication device is associated with a vehicle;
display, by the computing device, a map incorporating the communication device location, and communication options of the communication device;
request communication with the communication device via at least one of the received communication options; and
delay communication with the communication device based at least in part on the received communication device information with the communication device if it is determined by the computing device that the communication device is not in a safe wherein the safe zone is determined by the computing device at least in part using: the vehicle stops, the vehicle arrives at a specific location, a vehicle speed falls below a threshold, and the vehicle is within a predefined area;
wherein the communication options comprise at least one of a text, email, and voice communication.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising communicating with the communication device if it is determined by the computing device that the communication device is in the safe zone.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising calculating an estimated time for the communication device to arrive at the safe zone, based at least in part on the received communication device information relating to the communication device.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the communication device information relating to the communication device is received from an on board device via a network.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising determining whether or not the communication device is in the safe zone.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising displaying whether or not the communication device is in the safe zone.
12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program instructions executable by a computing device that, when executed by the computing device, direct the computing device to:
receive communication device information at the computing device relating to a communication device, the communication device information comprising communication device location, speed, and communication options, wherein the communication device is associated with a vehicle;
calculate an estimated time for the communication device to reach a safe zone, based at least in part on the received communication device information;
determine whether or not the communication device is in the safe zone; wherein the safe zone is determined by the computing device at least in part using: the vehicle stops, the vehicle arrives at a specific location, a vehicle speed falls below a threshold, and the vehicle is within a predefined area;
display, by the computing device, at least one of a map incorporating the communication device location, time required for the communication device to reach the safe zone, communication options of the communication device, and whether or not the communication device is in the safe zone;
communicate with the communication device if it is determined by the computing device that the communication device is in the safe zone, and
delay communication with the communication device if it is determined by the computing device that the communication device is not in the safe zone,
wherein the communication options comprise a text, email, and voice communication.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the communication options of the communication device are predetermined.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the communication device information relating to the communication device is received from an on board device via a network.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , further comprising requesting to communicate with the communication device.
