US Patent:

8564426, Oct 22, 2013

Filed:

Aug 15, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/586750

Inventors:

Bryan Cook - San Diego CA, US
Peter Ellegaard - San Diego CA, US
Hongying Li - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

DriveCam, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

B60Q 1/00

US Classification:

340439, 340440

Abstract:

A system for evaluating risk in driving comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine whether a spacial motion data does not fall within the vehicle profile and, in the event that the spacial motion data does not fall within the vehicle profile, to change class/type assignment associated with the vehicle and to modify a trigger threshold associated with an event detector that monitors the spacial motion data. The memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions.

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554566, 4554041, 4554561, 4554563, 4554562

Abstract:

Techniques for supporting location-based services (LBS) by a removable module are described. A set of messages (e. g. , commands and events) may be defined to support location-based services by the removable module. In one design, the removable module may send a first message (e. g. , a Get Position—Request message) to a terminal to request for location information. The first message may be sent for an LBS application running on the removable module. The removable module may thereafter receive a second message (e. g. , a Get Position—Response message) with the requested location information from the terminal. The removable module may execute a task for the LBS application based on the location information. The task may include reporting the location of the terminal, initiating a voice call, sending an SMS message, displaying a menu on the terminal, sending a report for tracking of the terminal, etc.

International Classification:

B60Q 1/00

US Classification:

340439

Abstract:

A Method and System for Tuning the Effect of Vehicle Characteristics on Risk Prediction is disclosed. The system many incorporate many of those driver risk assessment system features previously disclosed by Assignee's Prior Applications. The present system provides a major functional distinction from those prior systems by adding the feature of real-time tuning of the risk assessment/prediction/analysis system in response to ongoing changes in vehicle motion characteristics. Specifically, system monitors the vehicle center of gravity for changes on a real-time basis, and then adjusts the risk prediction/assessment/analysis system responsively. The system executes an initialization feature that implements an initial, or series of initial vehicular motion profiles at the commencement of either a driving trip of the system being powered up. A catalog or index of “standardized” motion profiles are accessible for initial comparison to actual vehicle motion characteristics in order to streamline the tuning of the driver risk analysis system. The system determines if and when an offset in Center of Gravity (i.e. from where initialized) has occurred, after which the system responsively tunes the driver risk assessment/prediction/analysis/reporting system.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709228

Abstract:

An apparatus or method integrates device policy and network policy in order to arbitrate a priority between packet data applications or services for a data connection. In response to a request, a data connection to a wireless network is established for a first application of a first type of application or service if no data session is in progress or if a second application of a second type of application or service can share an existing data session. A hybrid arbitrator performs hybrid arbitration between the first application and the second application in response to determining that the first type and the second type cannot share the existing data session, either based upon a network policy that specifies a difference in priority between the first type and the second type, or based upon a device policy if the network policy does not specify a difference in priority.
