Abstract

Systems/Methods are disclosed of enabling a number of first functions of a device while disabling a second function of the device. According to some embodiments, the device comprises a smartphone. Sensing of a physiological parameter of a user of the device is performed and a determination is made as to whether or not the physiological parameter sensed satisfies a criterion. Responsive to determining that the physiological parameter sensed satisfies the criterion, the device enables the number of first functions while disabling the second function. According to some embodiments, sensing of the physiological parameter is performed repeatedly followed by respectively comparing the physiological parameter sensed to the criterion and deciding whether or not to maintain enabled said number of first functions while maintaining disabled said second function.
