US Patent 11568024 Computing device use restriction system

A device control method includes monitoring location of a first user device of a first user and receiving an indication of a location of a second user device. The method further includes monitoring use of the second user device and determining a first time of use on the second user device. The first time of use on the second user device is allocated to a use time of a second user based on the location of the first user device relative to the location of the second user device, and a functional component of a third user device of the second user is disabled based at least on the use time of the second user.
