Telematics based on handset movement within a moving vehicle

摘要

At least a system for providing telematics data associated with a vehicle being driven by a driver is described. The vehicular telematics data may be obtained by tracking the movements of a wireless communications device of a driver of the vehicle. The telematics data may provide, among other things, speed, acceleration, deceleration, times of operation, duration of operation, mileage driven per day, and day of the week the vehicle has been used.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
at least three localization devices attached to a vehicle; a wireless communication device for transmitting a signal to each of said at least three localization devices, wherein each of said at least three localization devices processes said signal to determine a first movement of said wireless communication device relative to said at least three localization devices attached to said vehicle; and a telematics processing module of a computing device for:
determining a second movement of said wireless communication device, wherein said second movement corresponds to the absolute movement of said wireless communication device obtained from a global positioning system (GPS)adjusting a first data associated with said first movement using a second data associated with said second movement; anddetermining an actual movement of said vehicle after said adjusting is performed.
