Abstract

A system and method reports rules violations to a monitoring device relating to use of a monitored mobile device. The two devices use separate app versions linked through verification codes. The monitoring device establishes rules for use of the monitored device. When the monitored device app detects usage in violation of the rules, rule violations are reported to the monitoring app. Rules can be established that apply only in certain contexts, such as when driving a motor vehicle. The monitored app can submit a request to the monitoring app to enter passenger mode in order to avoid rule violations. The linked monitoring app can approve or deny the request. A distress stream can be started on the monitored app with a single button push. The stream is shared with the monitoring app and is automatically recorded during the stream at server location.
