Exempt from automatic restriction of functionality moving phones accompanied by an override transmitter

摘要

A system for restricting uses of moving phones used by solo drivers, but not passenger phones, and sometimes interrupting voice calls, including: (a) Don't depend on compliance by phone or car owners—make the restrictions automatic for phones moving above a threshold speed in selected areas; (b) unless the phone is not viewable by the driver or there is also a passenger in the vehicle, in which case the phone need not be restricted, to allow unrestricted use by passengers. (c) When a caller calls a person driving, play to the caller a query whether the call is important enough to put through, and put it through only if the caller responds affirmatively. (d) To delay and minimize cost of implementation while obtaining optimal initial benefit: (1) set up restricting first only in selected regions, and (2) implement first for newly issued phone numbers, then those issued in the last 2 or so years, then the last 4 or so years, etc. to about 15 years.
