Aegis Mobility

Aegis Mobility is a privately held company founded in 2006. It develops innovative solutions that enable people to manage their mobile communications based on activity, location, and time, putting people in control of their lives while enhancing their mobile experience and ensuring their personal privacy. The Company’s first application, DriveAssist™, is a service that automatically detects driving and manages a user’s mobile phone while driving. This product addresses the growing problem of distracted driving and the dangers it causes to drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and property. Future enhancements to DriveAssist may include automatic map creation, traffic conditions, enhanced parental controls, and new control features targeted at enterprise customers.

DriveAssist is built on Aegis’ Context-Based Services (CBS) platform. The platform extends the existing capabilities of location-based infrastructure to add subscriber contextual intelligence that enables the development of new services and APIs for third-party applications. The technology innovations and product functionalities are protected by a number of patents pending, the first of which were originally filed in November 2006. The architecture of the Company’s DriveAssist solution and the entire CBS platform was established after an extensive search of prior art and then-currently filed patent applications.
