Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the us
Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the user of the device, is moving. The present method and system determines whether the vehicle is being operated by a user that may also have access to a mobile communication device which, if used concurrently while the vehicle is in operation, may lead to unsafe operation of the vehicle. If the mobile services control system determines that a vehicle operator has potentially unsafe access to a mobile communication device, the mobile services control system may restrict operator access to one or more services that would otherwise be available to the operator via the mobile communication device.

1. A mobile services control system for controlling use of one or more services provided by a wireless mobile communication device, comprising: (a) one or more detectors configured to wirelessly detect a location of the wireless mobile communication device;(b) a vehicle operation detector configured
1. A mobile services control system for controlling use of one or more services provided by a wireless mobile communication device, comprising: (a) one or more detectors configured to wirelessly detect a location of the wireless mobile communication device;(b) a vehicle operation detector configured to determine one or more characteristics indicative of the vehicle being operated by a user;wherein the wireless mobile communication device can move independently from the one or more detectors;computational equipment configured to use a first input comprising characteristics indicative of the location of the wireless mobile communication device and configured to determine whether the wireless mobile communication device is within a predetermined geospatial envelop within a vehicle occupant enclosure of the vehicle, and the computational equipment is configured to use a second input comprising characteristics indicative of one or more of a movement of the vehicle and an operation of the vehicle, and when both the wireless mobile communication device is within a predetermined geospatial envelop, and the one or more of a movement of the vehicle and operation of the vehicle is detected and, the computational equipment is configured to communicate with a wireless service provider for the wireless mobile communication device to notify the wireless service provider to restrict access to the one or more services provided by the wireless mobile communication device. 2. The mobile services control system of claim 1, wherein the one or more detectors are part of an in-vehicle detection subsystem comprising a wireless communication interface for communicating with a wireless network external to the vehicle for transmitting data including one or more of: an identification of the wireless mobile communication device, an identification of the in-vehicle detection subsystem, and at least one of the characteristics, wherein the data is accessed at least one component of the computational equipment for notifying the service provider to restrict access to the services provided by the wireless mobile communication device. 3. The mobile services control system of claim 2, wherein the wireless network and the wireless service provider are independently operated. 4. The mobile services control system of claim 2, wherein the wireless communication interface is configured to only intermittently transmit additional data indicating whether the vehicle is moving. 5.

The mobile services control system of claim 1, wherein the computational equipment is configured to use a communication between the wireless mobile communication device and one or more base stations for the wireless service provider to determine a particular location of the wireless mobile communication device, and a communication between the interface and the wireless network to determine a particular location of the vehicle, wherein when the particular location of the wireless mobile communication device and the particular location of the vehicle are spaced apart, the wireless service provider is not notified to restrict access to the services provided by the wireless mobile communication device. 13. The mobile service control system of claim 12, wherein one of: a signal strength, a signal time delay, or an identification of one of the base stations is used in determining the particular location of the wireless mobile communication device are used in determining the particular location of the vehicle. 14. The mobile service control system of claim 12, wherein one of: a signal strength or a signal time delay is used in determining the particular location of the vehicle. 15. A mobile services control system for controlling use of one or more services provided by a wireless mobile communication device, comprising: an in-vehicle detection subsystem configured to detect characteristics of a vehicle, the in-vehicle detection subsystem including a vehicle operation detector is configured to determine one or more characteristics indicative of the vehicle being operated by a user;wherein the wireless mobile communication device moves independently from the in-vehicle detection subsystem;a wireless interface configured to wirelessly connect the in-vehicle detection subsystem to a wireless network that is independent of the vehicle;one or more computational equipment interfaces configured to enter information as to an identity of a primary driver or drivers of the vehicle, and to enter information as to the wireless mobile communication device(s) that might be in use by the primary driver or drivers of the vehicle, and to enter information as to what information transfer should be allowed to and from the wireless mobile communication device although the wireless mobile device has services restricted thereto; andcomputational equipment configured to use the input of the characteristics of the vehicle to identify a predetermined movement of the vehicle, and when the predetermined vehicle movement is detected, the computational equipment is configured to change the information in a database that is accessible by a wireless service provider for the wireless mobile communication device indicating to the wireless service provider that access to the one or more services provided by the wireless mobile communication device should be restricted. 16. The mobile services control system of claim 15, wherein the in-vehicle detection subsystem includes a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with a wireless network external to the vehicle for transmitting data including: an identification of the wireless mobile communication device, an identification of the in-vehicle detection subsystem, and at least one of the characteristics, wherein the data is accessed at least one component of the computational equipment for notifying the provider to restrict access to the one or more services provided by the wireless mobile communication device. 17. The mobile services control system of claim 15, wherein the wireless network and the wireless service provider are independently operated. 18. The mobile service control system of claim 15, wherein the vehicle operation detector receives vehicle movement data from one or more vehicle movement detectors, the one or more vehicle movement detectors configured to detect one or more of a vehicle acceleration, a velocity, and a vehicle vibration indicative of vehicle movement.
