Motion Lock

Motion Lock is a safety feature within CoPilot which limits access to the CoPilot UI once traveling above a threshold speed. This feature has been enhanced to increase the amount of interaction that is available through multiple modes available.

CopilotMgr.setMotionLockMode

Overview
Description Motion lock will lock the CoPilot UI once traveling above a specified speed. The UI can be locked down over a different range of modes, restricting more or less of the UI based on integration needs.
The threshold at which Motion Lock will be initiated should be set using setMotionLockSpeedThreshold. This API is just to set the lock mode, it’s not responsible for the actual lock to be activated.
Supported Since Version 10.9
Platforms Supported Android, Linux
Type Method
Package com.alk.cpik

Syntax

Parameters

Parameter Description
MotionLockMode The mode that you want CoPilot to locked down to once motion lock has been initiated. This will dictate the available options once traveling above the specified threshold speed.

Sample Code


CopilotMgr.getMotionLockMode

Overview
Description To return the current Motion Lock mode this API should be used. The mode dictates the extent to which the CoPilot UI will be locked down once initiated and traveling above the threshold speed. This will not return the threshold speed.
Supported Since Version 10.9
Platforms Supported Android, Linux
Type Method
Package com.alk.cpik

Syntax

Return Values - MotionLockMode

Sample Code


MotionLockMode

Overview
Description A value representing the Motion Lock UI mode that CoPilot will apply when motion lock is activated.
Supported Since Version 10.9
Platforms Supported Android, Linux
Type Enum
Package com.alk.cpik

Values

Value Description
ALL_UI_UNLOCK Unlock all UI, do not lock any UI elements when traveling above the threshold speed.
ALL_UI_LOCK Lock all UI when traveling above the defined threshold speed. This will also disable all pop ups except for the destination arrival pop up. All action required pop-ups have a default decision which will be followed if they are shown.
ONLY_DRIVING_UI_ACCESS Only allow access to driving functions. This will Lock access to the entire UI with the exception of the following:

Driving Menu → 2D/3D
Driving menu → Directions/Safety
Driving Menu → Clear Destination
Driving Menu → Close
Zoom buttons on map
Reset to current location button on map
POI Alert button on map
Popups
Map drag/swipe/pan/multi touch
Sound mute button
Mapsure button on navigation dialog

This is the default mode available within the CoPilot UI.

ONLY_DRIVING_UI_ACCESS_EXTEND ONLY_DRIVING_UI_ACCESS plus access to the following (disable keyboard):

Driving Menu → Find POIs
Main POI categories
Search All
More Categories
Driving Menu → My Route → Alternate
Go (Green circular button on plan trip screen)
Traffic Bar and traffic refresh button
Buttons in flow traffic map except for the setting button

PASSENGER_MODE Allow a temporary disablement of Motion Lock when used by a passenger. Motion Lock settings should be resumed upon restarting CoPilot.
When this mode is set, all UI will be unlocked. Once the application is re-launched CoPilot will resume in the previous MotionLock mode.
To enable this mode the following configuration is required to be set within the user.cfg:

[User Settings]
“EnablePassengerMode”=1

Once this is set this mode being passed will replicate the user selecting the passenger mode button within the UI.
