Abstract
The system facilitates the selective display of messages to a user while the user is driving a vehicle. During operation, the system determines the priority of a message based on: a sender of the message; whether the message requests a response; a duration of time within which to read the message; and one or more rules. The system precludes the display of one or more messages while the user is driving a vehicle based on the respective priority of the messages.
