Systems, methods, and devices for managing predetermined functions on a mobile device within a moving vehicle, the mobile device having an operating system (OS) that includes an event API installed therein that is configured for two-way communication with an external control device, the control device being installed within the vehicle and further configured to communicate with a software application installed and running in memory resident on the mobile device. In response to initiation of a predetermined function on the mobile device, a notification message is transmitted by the event API to the control device. The control device then communicates with the software application to determine a desired action for the mobile device to take with respect to the predetermined function. The control device then instructs the mobile device on the action to take on the predetermined function by transmitting an action message to the event API. |

1. A system for managing predetermined functions on a mobile device within a moving vehicle, the mobile device having an operating system (OS) installed thereon, the OS including an event application programming interface (API) configured for two-way communication with an external electronic device, comprising:
a control device installed within the vehicle, the control device acting as the external electronic device and configured for two-way communication with the mobile device; a software application installed and running in memory resident on the mobile device; wherein, in response to initiation of one of the predetermined functions on the mobile device, the event API causes the mobile device to transmit a notification message to the control device; wherein, in response to receipt of the notification message from the mobile device, the control device transmits to the software application information about said one of the predetermined functions obtained from the notification message; wherein, in response to receipt of the information about said one of the predetermined functions obtained from the control device, the software application determines and transmits a desired action to be taken by the mobile device with respect to said one of the predetermined functions; and wherein, in response to receipt of the desired action from the software application, the control device transmits to the event API an action message, the action message causing the event API to take the desired action with respect to said one of the predetermined functions, wherein the desired action occurs on the mobile device without any direct interference or interruption of said one of the predetermined functions by the software application installed on the mobile device. |
