Management of mobile device communication sessions to reduce user distraction
Patent number: 9094533
Abstract: Systems, methods and interfaces are disclosed for managing communications associated with a mobile communication device. Mobile communication devices process environmental inputs and transmit mobile communication device context information to a communication management system. The context information may, for example, reflect the motion and/or geographic location of the mobile device, and may reflect the risk associated with using the device to handle a call or other communications session. The communication management system uses the context information, optionally in combination with communication device profiles, to determine how to manage incoming and/or ongoing calls or other communication sessions. Mobile device users may also be inhibited from initiating communication sessions.

Providing and managing bypass of enhanced services
Patent number: 8942686
Abstract: A communication environment includes of one or more subscriber terminals capable of initiating emergency voice calls over a telephony network. The subscriber terminal further send messages over either a data network or a telephony signaling network to a communication management system. The communication management system receives messages from a subscriber terminal, either via a data network or a telephony signaling network. It also consists of one or more telephony switching nodes capable of querying the emergency context node for a called party emergency context. It also consists of one or more servers that provide advanced call control services.

Mobility call management
Patent number: 8923826
Abstract: A mobility call management service is disclosed that provides enhanced call management functionality for a wireless mobile terminal (MT). Incoming and/or outgoing calls are managed based on an assessment of the degree of motion of the MT, or other available data pertinent to the MT's physical situation, such as but not limited to its location, movement, or rate of movement. The degree of motion or other assessment may be used to determine whether a communication can safely terminate on, originate from, or continue safely on the MT, so as to reduce or remove driver distraction.

MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Publication number: 20140248865
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure correspond to the utilization of criteria for distinguishing between temporary changes to mobile communication device movement state in determining whether a mobile communication device context has changed. A mobile communication device can be configured to manage one or more aspects of functionality of the mobile communication device based on a mobile communication device context. At some point, the mobile communication device can determine a transition to a substantially stationary state. Rather than immediately transitioning the mobile communication device context, the mobile communication device can define a period of time in which additional changes to the mobile communication device movement state can be detected. Accordingly, if the mobile communication device movement state transitions again to a non-stationary movement state within the guard period, the mobile communication device context remains in the non-stationary movement state and never transitions.

Providing and managing bypass of enhanced services
Patent number: 8942686
Abstract: A communication environment includes of one or more subscriber terminals capable of initiating emergency voice calls over a telephony network. The subscriber terminal further send messages over either a data network or a telephony signaling network to a communication management system. The communication management system receives messages from a subscriber terminal, either via a data network or a telephony signaling network. It also consists of one or more telephony switching nodes capable of querying the emergency context node for a called party emergency context. It also consists of one or more servers that provide advanced call control services.

Mobility call management
Patent number: 8923826
Abstract: A mobility call management service is disclosed that provides enhanced call management functionality for a wireless mobile terminal (MT). Incoming and/or outgoing calls are managed based on an assessment of the degree of motion of the MT, or other available data pertinent to the MT's physical situation, such as but not limited to its location, movement, or rate of movement. The degree of motion or other assessment may be used to determine whether a communication can safely terminate on, originate from, or continue safely on the MT, so as to reduce or remove driver distraction.

MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Publication number: 20140248865
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure correspond to the utilization of criteria for distinguishing between temporary changes to mobile communication device movement state in determining whether a mobile communication device context has changed. A mobile communication device can be configured to manage one or more aspects of functionality of the mobile communication device based on a mobile communication device context. At some point, the mobile communication device can determine a transition to a substantially stationary state. Rather than immediately transitioning the mobile communication device context, the mobile communication device can define a period of time in which additional changes to the mobile communication device movement state can be detected. Accordingly, if the mobile communication device movement state transitions again to a non-stationary movement state within the guard period, the mobile communication device context remains in the non-stationary movement state and never transitions.

CONTEXT-BASED MANAGEMENT OF MOBILE DEVICES
Publication number: 20140199987
Abstract: Systems, methods and interfaces are disclosed for managing communications associated with a mobile device. Mobile devices process environmental inputs and transmit context information to a communication management system. The context information may, for example, reflect the motion and/or geographic location of the mobile device, and may reflect the risk associated with using the device to handle a call or other communications session. A management system uses the context information, optionally in combination with communication device profiles, to determine how to manage requests for communication with the mobile device. Mobile device users may also be inhibited from initiating communications.
