System and method for determining an indication of a location of a device in a vehicle

摘要

A computer-implemented method for determining an indication of a location of a first device in a vehicle is presented, the first device being associated with a party in the vehicle. An indication of a direction of motion of the vehicle may be received. When a second device in the vehicle transmits a signal, an indication of a direction of orientation of the first device may be received. The indication of the direction of orientation may be affected by the transmitted signal, and may be determined using the first device. The indication of the location of the first device may be determined based on the indication of the direction of motion of the vehicle and the indication of the direction of orientation of the first device, and may indicate whether the first device is associated with a driver seat or a passenger seat, to facilitate insuring of the party.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for determining an indication of a location of a first device in a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, using one or more processors, an indication of a direction of motion of the vehicle; receiving, using the one or more processors, when a second device in the vehicle transmits a signal, an indication of a direction of orientation of the first device, the indication of the direction of orientation of the first device indicating, as a result of the signal being transmitted by the second device, that the direction of orientation of the first device differs from an actual direction of orientation of the first device, the indication of the direction of orientation of the first device being determined using the first device; determining, using the one or more processors, the indication of the location of the first device in the vehicle based on the indication of the direction of motion of the vehicle and the indication of the direction of orientation of the first device, the first device associated with a party in the vehicle, the indication of the location of the first device including an indication of whether the first device is associated with a driver seat of the vehicle or whether the first device is associated with a passenger seat of the vehicle; and sending, using the one or more processors, the indication of the location of the first device in the vehicle to an additional device to determine updated insurance data associated with the party based on the indication of the location of the first device in the vehicle.
