System and method for auto-calibration and auto-correction of primary and secondary motion for telematics applications via wireless mobile devices

摘要

A mobile device for capturing motion data of a vehicle when the mobile device is travelling with the vehicle, the mobile device comprising: at least one sensor; a processor; a non-transitory storage medium; and an orientation algorithm comprising a set of computer readable instructions stored in the non-transitory storage medium and when executed by the processor configured to allow the mobile device to determine an orientation of the mobile device relative to an orientation of the vehicle; and a transformation algorithm comprising a set of computer readable instructions stored in the non-transitory storage medium and when executed by the processor configured to allow the mobile device to transform motion sensor data to remove secondary movement of the mobile device, which corresponds to the relative movement of the mobile device within the vehicle, and retain primary movement of the mobile device, which corresponds to the motion of the vehicle.
