System and method for using Wi-Fi inside a moving vehicle

摘要

The present invention is directed to various systems, methods, and embodiments resulting from the realization that the number of persons who are using a Wi-Fi computer network in a closed environment, e.g. a moving vehicle, can be verified to confirm that it coincides with the number of persons allowed pursuant to a license, by providing a system and method for determining the number of persons accessing a computer network in a closed environment, e.g. a moving vehicle and controlling the access based on that determination.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; at least one means for capturing an image, wherein the at least one means for capturing an image is electronically connected to the at least one processor; at least one communication means configured for establishing communications between a mobile device and a computer network, wherein the at least one communication means is electronically connected to the at least one processor; and computer executable instructions readable by the at least one processor and operative to: analyze at least one image captured by the at least one means for capturing an image; determine the number of persons that are in the at least one image to determine number of persons that are accessing a computer network in the vehicle; and control access to the computer network but not the vehicle for at least one mobile device and any other mobile devices within the vehicle, by comparing the number of persons determined to be in the at least one image with a number of persons that are authorized to access the computer network, and allowing access to the computer network for the at least one mobile device and any other mobile devices within the vehicle if the number of persons accessing the computer network is in accordance with the number of persons authorized for access pursuant to a license for the vehicle.
