Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for managing predetermined functions on a mobile device, the operating system (OS) installed on the device including an event application programming interface (API) configured to enable voice over internet protocol (VoIP) applications to assume priority over other applications and functions of the mobile device when VoIP calls are detected. A mobile device management software application installed and running on the mobile device emulates a VoIP software application and uses event API calls to trick the OS into believing that a VoIP call has been detected and, in response, causes the OS to block or interfere with one or more predetermined functions on the mobile device based on the status and location of the mobile device.
