Abstract

A helmet for tracking compliance information associated with a rider is disclosed. The helmet comprising a Global Positioning System (GPS) configured to trace a complete path covered by the rider. Further, the helmet comprises a set of biometric sensor configured to capture biometric sample of the rider at regular intervals, when the rider is in motion. Furthermore, the helmet comprises a data processing platform. The data processing platform maintains a database configured to store a profile data of the rider such as biometric information and identity profile of the rider. The data processing platform enables a biometric data analysis module configured to classify the complete path into a compliant path and a non-compliant path by analyzing the biometric information and biometric samples captured from the rider. Further, the data processing platform enables a data transmission module to transmit the compliant path and the non compliant path to a remote server.

Claims

1. A helmet for tracking compliance information associated with a rider, the helmet comprising:

a Global Positioning System (GPS) configured to trace a complete path covered by the rider, wherein the complete path is divided into one or more intervals;

a set of biometric sensors configured to capture biometric samples of the rider at each interval from the one or more intervals, when the rider is in motion, wherein the set of biometric sensors include at least one camera, wherein the at least one camera is configured to scan biometric samples in the form of retina images at each interval from the one or more intervals, when the rider is in motion;

a data processing platform comprising a database configured to store a profile data associated with the rider, wherein the profile data includes biometric information and identity profile of the rider;

a biometric data analysis module configured to classify the complete path into a compliant path and a non-compliant path, wherein the complete path is classified based on comparison of the biometric information with the biometric samples captured at each interval, wherein the biometric data analysis module is configured to compare the retina images scanned by the at least one camera with the retina images from the biometric information, in order to classify the complete path into the, compliant path and the non compliant path; and

a data transmission module configured to transmit the compliant path and the non compliant path to a remote server.

2. The helmet of claim 1, wherein the identity profile includes a license number, name, and address of the rider.

3. The helmet of claim 1, wherein the biometric information includes at least one retina image of the rider.

4. The helmet of claim 1, wherein the compliant path is indicative of path covered by the rider while wearing the helmet and the non compliant path is indicative of a path covered by the rider without wearing the helmet, wherein the compliant path is associated with one or more intervals at which the biometric information matches with the biometric samples, and wherein the non-compliant path is associated with one or more intervals at which the biometric information does not match with the biometric samples.

5. A method for tracking compliance information associated with a rider using a helmet, the helmet comprising:

tracing a complete path covered by the rider using a Global Positioning System (GPS) embedded in the helmet;

capturing biometric samples of the rider at each interval from the one or more intervals, when the rider is in motion, wherein the biometric samples are captured by a set of biometric sensors installed over the helmet, wherein the set of biometric sensors include at least one camera, wherein the at least one camera is configured to scan biometric samples in the form of retina images at each interval from the one or more intervals, when the rider is in motion;

storing a profile data associated with the rider in a database, wherein the profile data includes biometric information and identity profile of the rider, and wherein the database is enabled by a data processing platform associated with the helmet;

classifying by a biometric data analysis module, the complete path into a compliant path and a non-compliant path, wherein the complete path is classified based on comparison of the biometric information with the biometric samples captured at each regular interval, wherein the biometric data analysis module is enabled by the data processing platform, wherein the biometric data analysis module is configured to compare the retina images scanned by the at least one camera with the retina images from the biometric information, in order to classify the complete path into the compliant path and the non compliant path; and

transmitting the compliant path and the non compliant path to a remote server by a data transmission module, wherein the data transmission module is enabled by the data processing platform.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the identity profile includes a license number, name, and address associated with the rider.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the biometric information includes at least one retina image of the rider.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the compliant path is indicative of path covered by the rider while wearing the helmet and the non compliant path is indicative of a path covered by the rider without wearing the helmet, wherein the compliant path is associated with one or more intervals at which the biometric information matches with the biometric samples, and wherein the non-compliant path is associated with one or more intervals at which the biometric information does not match with the biometric samples.
