摘要:
Controlling safety features for mobile device interactions in restricted areas includes identification, by a processor, of an operator of a vehicle based on at least one of subscriber identity module (SIM) card detection and image recognition. A physical location of mobile devices within the vehicle relative to one another is determined based on SIM card locations of the mobile devices. A physical location of an operator mobile device located in proximity of an operator position in the vehicle is determined based on imaging. The physical location of the operator mobile device is communicated to a cell tower. The processor detects whether the operator mobile device is in use and communicatively interacting with another mobile device. It is determined if the geographical location is in a predefined restricted area for using the operator mobile device, and if so, the operator mobile device communication is controlled.
