The present invention is directed to a method and system for detecting a
wireless telephone communication in a vehicle, and once detected, when
the vehicle exceeds a predefined speed limit, for generating and sending
Dual-Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) encoded information over the voice
channel. The encoded information comprises the values of various physical
parameters related to the moving vehicle. For instance, these parameters
can include the current time at which the telephone communication
started, and optionally, the position of the vehicle. In a particular
embodiment, the values of the various parameters are sent at regular time
intervals until the communication terminates.
