FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The embodiments herein generally relate to electronic devices. More particularly to a mobile device and method thereof for managing at least one operation while riding a motorcycle. The present application is based on, and claims priority from, both the Indian Application Numbers 201611003876 filed on 3rd February, 2016 and 5 201611003877 filed on 3rd February, 2016, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Generally, addressing safety concerns and handling communication of commuters is at most importance in emerging markets. 10 Mobile devices cause anxiety among users while riding a motorcycle, thus causing distraction. Further, operating the mobile devices while riding the motorcycle can be fatal as the users don’t have any protection. The users feel apprehension to miss any incoming calls and further the user cannot make out difference between urgent and unwanted calls. 15
[0003] In conventional methods, in order to reply to an incoming call received by the user in a situation (where the user is unable to answer the call), the mobile device identifies caller based on identification information included in the incoming call and sends a reply according to a selection made by the user or can direct the incoming call to another 20 answering service. In an example, the reply can be a voice message, an e-mail message, a facsimile, and Short Messaging Service (SMS) message in the form of a character string.
[0004] In other conventional methods, the mobile device detects the incoming call received by the user and determines whether the incoming 25 call is associated with a priority contact (i.e., the incoming call received from the caller in the priority list). If the incoming call is not from the priority contact then, the incoming call is directed to a voicemail system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
[00105] Various embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, specific details such as detailed configuration and components are merely provided to assist the overall understanding of these 5 embodiments of the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness. 10
[00106] Also, the various embodiments described herein are not necessarily mutually exclusive, as some embodiments can be combined with one or more other embodiments to form new embodiments.
[00107] Herein, the term “or” as used herein, refers to a non-exclusive or, unless otherwise indicated. The examples used herein are 15 intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein can be practiced and to further enable those skilled in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
[00108] As is traditional in the field, embodiments may be 20 described and illustrated in terms of blocks which carry out a described function or functions. These blocks, which may be referred to herein as units or modules or the like, are physically implemented by analog and/or digital circuits such as logic gates, integrated circuits, microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory circuits, passive electronic components, active 25 electronic components, optical components, hardwired circuits and the like, and may optionally be driven by firmware and/or software. The circuits may, for example, be embodied in one or more semiconductor chips, or on
20/77
substrate supports such as printed circuit boards and the like. The circuits constituting a block may be implemented by dedicated hardware, or by a processor (e.g., one or more programmed microprocessors and associated circuitry), or by a combination of dedicated hardware to perform some functions of the block and a processor to perform other functions of the 5 block. Each block of the embodiments may be physically separated into two or more interacting and discrete blocks without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Likewise, the blocks of the embodiments may be physically combined into more complex blocks without departing from the scope of the disclosure. 10
[00109] Accordingly the embodiments herein provide a method for managing at least one operation of a mobile device while riding a motorcycle. The method includes detecting that a motorcycle mode is enabled, where the motorcycle mode is configured to automatically manage the at least one operation of the mobile device while a user of the mobile device is riding the motorcycle. Further, the method includes performing the at least one operation based on a context of the motorcycle and the user.
[00110] Unlike conventional systems and methods, the proposed method provides a simple and robust method for managing the at least one operation of the mobile device (i.e., such as eliciting a response message at a caller device indicating that the user is riding the motorcycle, lock a screen of the mobile device to restrict answering the incoming call by the user when the speed of the motorcycle exceeds the speed threshold, unlock the screen of the mobile device when the speed of the motorcycle is within the speed threshold, automatically forward the incoming call to a contact associated with the user, send a message to the caller, where the message including at least one of a location of the user and an estimated time to reach a destination by the user, automatically forward the incoming call to a contact associated with the user, provide an incoming call notification to
21/77
the caller through at least one of a wearable device paired with the mobile device, a smart helmet paired with the mobile device, and a smart mirror of the motorcycle paired with the mobile device, automatically send a message to at least one contact associated with the user in response to determining that the smart helmet is not worn by the user of the motorcycle, automatically send a message to at least one contact associated with the user, alert the user to regulate the speed of the motorcycle based on the location, cause to display a navigation notification indicating the current location of the another user, and cause to display a navigation indication to the destination with respect to the current location of the user using left and right smart mirrors of the motorcycle).
[00111] Further, in the proposed method, the motorcycle mode can be used or enabled to prevent disturbances in case of any unimportant calls and provides quick access dashboard to the user to view information. The motorcycle mode provides easy means to filter the incoming calls. Further, the proposed method provides the motorcycle mode to the user, which is used to prevent unnecessary disturbances to the user while the user is riding the motorcycle and allows for urgent call notifications to the user. When the motorcycle mode is enabled, the motorcycle cycle mode impacts the physical as well as graphical UI thus, disabling access to the users. The users cannot use additional functions/features/applications of the mobile device when the motorcycle mode is enabled. Since emergencies can be from a caller side, the motorcycle mode when enabled, allows callers to determine whether their notifications must be sent to the user or not.
[00112] Further, in the proposed method, the motorcycle mode (i.e., S-bike mode) filters all incoming calls and notifies the user of only the urgent incoming calls. This is a filtering feature along with the capabilities of muting features. The user is provided with a visual notification or an audio notification of the urgent calls (i.e., designed specifically for traffic
22/77
conditions). The user does not receive any notifications for non-urgent incoming calls.
[00113] Unlike conventional systems and methods, in the proposed method, the callers can hear the audio notification prompting the caller that the user is riding the motorcycle. Further, the caller is prompted to press “1” to connect their call further and notify the user, or drop out the call. The motorcycle mode is a safety feature, with a motion lock, which ensures that the users do not use their mobile device while riding the motorcycle.
[00114] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 27, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred embodiments.
[00115] FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a mobile device 100 5 for managing at least one operation while a user of the mobile device 100 is riding a motorcycle, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the mobile device 100 can be, for example, a laptop, a desktop computer, a mobile phone, a smart phone, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), a tablet, a phablet, a consumer electronic device, a dual 10 display device, or any other electronic device. In an embodiment, the mobile device 100 includes a motorcycle mode controller 102, a User Interface (UI) 104, a sensor unit 106, a navigation unit 108, a location detector 110, a processor unit 112, a memory unit 114, and a communication unit 116. 15

The example embodiments illustrating different operation(s) performed are explained in conjunction with FIGS. 2a-2d. Further, the additional functionalities, apart from the one which are described above, of the motorcycle mode controller 102 are explained in conjunction with FIGS. 2a - 2d. 5
[00117] In an embodiment, the motorcycle mode is enabled by tapping the mobile device 100 against a smart poster (i.e., a Near Field Communication (NFC) sticker) on the motorcycle. An example scenario is explained in conjunction with FIG. 3a. In another embodiment, the motorcycle mode is enabled by performing a gesture, on a motorcycle 10 mode icon, by the user in a quick panel (i.e., notification panel) of the mobile device 100. An example scenario is explained in conjunction with FIG. 3b.
[00118] Further, the UI 104 can be configured to update UI components and store data to shared preferences such as contacts list, user 15 information, or the like. In an embodiment, the motorcycle mode is specific to the user to prevent the user in receiving unimportant incoming calls while the user is riding the motorcycle. The motorcycle mode is enabled or disabled by tapping the mobile device 100 to the smart poster on the motorcycle. By enabling the motorcycle mode, the user can control usage 20 of the motorcycle mode and other functionalities associated with the motorcycle mode. Unlike conventional methods, by enabling the motorcycle mode, following functions are achieved as described below:
a. It saves the user from receiving unnecessary/unimportant calls while the user is riding the motorcycle. An automated response 25 message from the mobile device 100 of the user is sent to the caller. The caller is prompted to input extra key (i.e., press “1”) indicating that the call is important (i.e., urgent) for the user and should be answered immediately.
24/77
b. The user can store a plurality of contacts available in the mobile device 100 along with a location in a priority list. If the user receives the call from the contacts which are part of the priority list while riding the motorcycle then, current location and an estimated time of reach to a destination by the user is 5 automatically sent through a message (i.e., SMS) to the caller.
c. The motorcycle mode is not disabled until unless the user stops the motorcycle.
[00119] In an example, consider a scenario where the user taps the mobile device 100 on the NFC sticker to enable the motorcycle mode. 10 When the user receives the call and an automated voice is played (i.e., prompted) to the caller indicating that the user is riding the motorcycle and prompted to press “1” on the keypad thus, indicating that the call is the urgent incoming call for the user. Based on the voice, the caller can either disconnect the call or press “1” to proceed with the call. The mobile device 15 100 elicits an incoming call notification (i.e., ringtone) displaying the urgent incoming call to the user. Further, the user unable to answer the urgent incoming call unless until the motorcycle is stopped by the user. The motorcycle mode is a safety feature preventing the users from using the mobile device 100 while riding the motorcycle. 20
[00120] The sensor unit 106 can be configured to detect a speed of the motorcycle as a context of the motorcycle and the user. Further, the sensor unit 106 can be configured to send the detected speed of the motorcycle to the motorcycle mode controller 102 to perform the operation. The navigation unit 108 can be configured to generate a navigation 25 notification indicating a current location of the user. Further, the navigation unit 108 can be configured to send the generated navigation notification to the motorcycle mode controller 102 to perform the operation of the mobile device 100. The location detector 110 can be configured to determine a
25/77
destination to be travelled by the user as the context of the motorcycle and the user. Further, the location detector 110 can be configured to detect the current location of the user as the context of the motorcycle and the user. Further, the location detector 110 can be configured to send the detected current location to the motorcycle mode controller 102 to perform the 5 operation.
[00121] The processor unit 112 can be configured to communicate with various units to change content displayed on the UI 104 or share data. Further, the processor unit 112 can be configured to communicate with various units to manage the at least one operation of the mobile device 100 10 while the user is riding the motorcycle. In an embodiment, the functionalities performed by the motorcycle mode controller 102 can also be performed by the processor unit 112 without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
[00122] The memory unit 114 may include one or more computer-15 readable storage media. The memory unit 114 may include non-volatile storage elements. Examples of such non-volatile storage elements may include magnetic hard discs, optical discs, floppy discs, flash memories, or forms of electrically programmable memories (EPROM) or electrically erasable and programmable (EEPROM) memories. In addition, the memory 20 unit 114 may, in some examples, be considered a non-transitory storage medium. The term “non-transitory” may indicate that the storage medium is not embodied in a carrier wave or a propagated signal. However, the term “non-transitory” should not be interpreted that the memory unit 114 is non-movable. In some examples, the memory unit 114 can be configured to 25 store larger amounts of information than the memory. In certain examples, a non-transitory storage medium may store data that can, over time, change (e.g., in Random Access Memory (RAM) or cache). The communication
26/77
unit 116 communicates internally with the units and externally with networks.
[00123] Unlike conventional systems and methods, the proposed method enhances the overall user experience thus, dynamically managing the at least one operation of the mobile device 100. Further, the proposed 5 method can be used to prevent disturbances caused to the user by unimportant calls while the user is riding the motorcycle.

Further, the mobile device 100 can include any number of units 10 along with other hardware or software components communicating with each other. For example, the component can be, but not limited to, a process running in the controller or processor, an object, an executable process, a thread of execution, a program, or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a device and the device itself 15 can be a component.
[00125] FIG. 2a is an example block diagram of the motorcycle mode controller 102 for performing the at least one operation to elicit a response message at a caller device indicating that the user is riding the motorcycle, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. In an 20 embodiment, the motorcycle mode controller 102 includes a call module 202a, a Telecom manager 204a, an audio manager 206a, a call logger 208a, a dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) scanner 210a, and a speed logger 212a.
[00126] The call module 202a can be configured to receive the 25 incoming call from the caller and share DTMF intent. Further, the call module 202a can be configured to display the UI 104 of the incoming call and user input. The Telecom manager 204a can be configured to play a voice message when the call is auto-answered, indicating the caller to press
27/77
key “1” if the call is the urgent incoming call. The audio manager 206a can be configured to control the audio routing for call message.
[00127] Further, the call logger 208a can be configured to maintain two types of calls i.e., the one which the user misses due to auto-answer and second ones which are urgent incoming calls but the user is not in a 5 situation to answer the call. The DTMF scanner 210a can be configured to receive an input from the call module 202a and determine whether the input is key “1” or not. The speed logger 212a can be configured to disable the UI 104 thus discouraging the user to answer the call while riding the motorcycle. The UI 104 is disabled until the motorcycle is stopped by the 10 user.
[00128] The FIG. 2a shows another limited overview of the motorcycle mode controller 102 but, it is to be understood that other embodiments are not limited thereto. Further, the motorcycle mode controller 102 can include any number of units along with other hardware 15 or software components communicating with each other. For example, the component can be, but not limited to, a process running in the controller or processor, an object, an executable process, a thread of execution, a program, or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a device and the device itself can be a component. 20
[00129] FIG. 2b is an example block diagram of the motorcycle mode controller 102 for performing the operation when the motorcycle mode is enabled and notifications option (or tab) on the UI 104 is selected by the user, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the motorcycle mode controller 102 includes a call log 25 database 202b, the telecom manager 204a, a contact database 204b, a motorcycle mode database 206b, and a notification manager 208b.
[00130] The call log database 202b stores all the log entries of the contacts available in the mobile device 100 of the user. The functionalities
28/77
of the telecom manager 204a are explained in conjunction with the FIG. 2a. The contact database 204b stores the contacts associated with the user. The motorcycle mode database 206b stores the information of the incoming calls received from the user riding the motorcycle and the motorcycle mode is enabled. Further, the creation of the motorcycle mode database is 5 explained in conjunction with the FIG. 10b. The notification manager 208b generates the notification to the user indicating number of incoming calls missed by the user while riding the motorcycle.
[00131] In another example, the motorcycle mode controller 102 can be in communication with the call log database 202b, the telecom 10 manager 204a, the contact database 204b, the motorcycle mode database 206b, and the notification manager 208b to perform the operation when the notifications option is selected by the user. Here, the motorcycle mode controller 102 queries the call log database 202b for latest entry of the incoming calls received from the callers. Further, the motorcycle mode 15 controller 102 receives the missed call notification from the telecom manager 204a. After receiving the missed call notification, the motorcycle mode controller 102 fetches the updated information of the caller from the contact database 204b. Further, the motorcycle mode controller 102 inserts a new log in the motorcycle mode database 206b and sends a refresh 20 request to the notification manager 208b. An example scenario displaying options on the UI 104 of the notifications is explained in conjunction with FIGS. 11a – 11c.
[00132] In an embodiment, the notifications are displayed and grouped for 2 sessions such as the most recent (i.e., RECENT SESSION) 25 and the penultimate session (i.e., PREVIOUS SESSION). A session is the period between turning the motorcycle mode “ON” and “OFF” state. The recent session displays all the notifications while the motorcycle mode is in “ON” state (even if it is beyond 24 hrs). Once the motorcycle mode is
29/77
turned “OFF”, it displays only the notifications (in both recent and previous sessions) that are within the past 24 hrs.
[00133] Unlike conventional systems and methods, all the calls which are missed when the motorcycle mode is enabled can be displayed in Notifications screen of the motorcycle mode. In addition to default sorting 5 of call logs by time, there is an additional way of sorting the motorcycle mode notifications i.e., sort by urgency. In sort by urgency, all the urgent incoming calls that got missed are prioritized. Further, the user can make the call without navigating to any other call screen.
[00134] In an example, there are situations, where the user is riding 10 the motorcycle and his/her family members want to contact the user. In the proposed solution, initially, the user can register some of the contacts as the priority callers for that journey. The user sets the destination using the Maps UI. Now if any call is received from those callers and the call goes unanswered, the users where about is shared with the caller via the SMS. 15 The home and the work addresses can also be bookmarked in the motorcycle mode settings for reusability.
[00135] Further, all the calls that were missed during the motorcycle mode can be displayed in Notification tab of the motorcycle mode. These missed call logs are by default sorted as per the urgency i.e., 20 the urgent calls that were missed are prioritized. There can be one or more criteria for deciding the urgency of the call. The user can also change the sorting order to sort by time.
[00136] Further, the user is provided with a provision to call back in response to the missed calls from the motorcycle mode notification 25 screen itself. The missed calls notifications are maintained only for 24 hours. On the 24 hours list, the Notifications of only two motorcycle mode sessions are retained. So if the end time of the previous motorcycle mode
30/77
session lies in the 24 hours window, then that session logs can be displayed along with the recent session logs.
[00137] The FIG. 2b shows another limited overview of the motorcycle mode controller 102 but, it is to be understood that other embodiments are not limited thereto. Further, the motorcycle mode 5 controller 102 can include any number of units along with other hardware or software components communicating with each other. For example, the component can be, but not limited to, a process running in the controller or processor, an object, an executable process, a thread of execution, a program, or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running 10 on a device and the device itself can be a component.
[00138] FIG. 2c is another example block diagram of the motorcycle mode controller 102 for performing the operation when the motorcycle mode is enabled and a Smart Reply option (or tab) on the UI 104 is selected by the user, according to an embodiment as disclosed 15 herein. In an embodiment, the motorcycle mode controller 102 includes the telecom manager 204a, a registered contact list 202c, and the audio manager 206a.
[00139] The registered contact list 202c includes the contacts which are listed in a priority list (i.e., priority contacts). The audio manager 206a 20 extracts a missed call notification with the caller information from the telecom manager 204a. After receiving the missed call notification, the audio manager 206a determines whether the caller is part of the priority list. After determining that the caller is part of the priority list then, the audio manager 206a fetches a location of the user and the estimated time to reach 25 the destination by the user. The location of the user can be determined using a Global Positioning System (GPS). Further, the audio manager 206a sends the message including the location of the user and the estimated time to reach the destination to the caller.
31/77
[00140] Unlike conventional systems and methods, at the beginning of the journey, the user can register some of the contacts as the priority callers for that particular journey. The user sets the destination using the maps UI. In case of any missed call from that priority caller when the motorcycle mode is enabled, the message including the location of the user 5 and the estimated time to reach the destination by the user is sent to the caller. The user is not disturbed for the missed/auto answered call.
[00141] The FIG. 2c shows another limited overview of the motorcycle mode controller 102 but, it is to be understood that other embodiments are not limited thereto. Further, the motorcycle mode 10 controller 102 can include any number of units along with other hardware or software components communicating with each other.

[00143] The speed tracker 202d detects the change in speed of the motorcycle. Further, the speed information is used by the usage time 25 calculator 204d to calculate the usage time of the user. Depending on the usage time, the UI 104 is updated. The authentication unit 206d authenticates the user of the motorcycle. The ruler engine 208d extracts the usage time and calculates number of points earned by the user based on the
32/77
usage time. Further, the UI 104 is updated based on the points earned by the user.
[00144] In an example, the riding history is maintained in the motorcycle mode. The user can see the riding history from the Rewards tab of the motorcycle mode. In this tab, the riding history is depicted 5 graphically through a Time Vs Date graph. The duration of the usage of motorcycle mode is shown for each date of a month. Some points are rewarded to the user based on the riding history; number of missed calls during the motorcycle mode is enabled and other similar rules. These points can be redeemed. The user can also participate in various online contests, if 10 any, through the collected points.
