Method and system for controlling and modifying driving behaviors

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method and system for detecting, monitoring and/or controlling one or more of mobile services for a mobile communication device (also referred to herein as a Controllable Mobile Device or CMD), and in particular, when the device is being used and the vehicle, operated by the user of the device, is moving. In addition, one aspect of the invention generally relates to a method and system for modifying a user's driving behaviors, in particular to a system and method for modifying a user's unsafe driving behaviors, e.g., using one or more services of a controllable mobile device while driving, by providing a score to the user rating indicating that they are using a mobile device in a distracting way, or driving in a manner that indicates that they are distracted.

主权项

1. A mobile services control system for generating a score based on driving events and use of a controllable mobile device, comprising:
an in-vehicle detection system configured to determine one or more characteristics of a vehicle indicative of the vehicle being operated by a user; and a computational equipment that is configured to generate the score based on a first input indicative of whether a controllable mobile device is within the vehicle when the vehicle is in operation, a second input comprising the one or more characteristics of a vehicle indicative of the vehicle being operated by a user, and a third input indicative of one or more of a use of the controllable mobile device by the user, a use of the system that controls distracting use of the controllable mobile device, overriding the system and one or more events indicative of driving behaviors, wherein the system is configured to communicate one or more rewards to a user based on the score and wherein the computational equipment is configured to communicate, during or after the end of a trip, one or more of an audible, vibrational or visible alert to the user to indicate that the score has been achieved.
