Abstract
A computerized method for determining whether a first network device located within a vehicle is a driver device or is within a driver envelope is disclosed. The computerized method includes operations of detecting (i) movement of the first network device at a speed above a predetermined threshold and (ii) presence of a transceiver, obtaining network device identifier—received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value pairing data from the transceiver, wherein the network device identifier—RSSI value pairing data, and when a RSSI value of the first network device is a greatest value included within the network device identifier—RSSI value pairing data, determining the first network device is the driver device and implementing a set of policies on the first network device, wherein implementation of the set of policies is configured to restrict functionality of the first network device according to a predefined list of functionalities.
