System and methods for monitoring driver distraction
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring driver distraction executed by a processor comprising:
- determining, by using one or more sensors, that a driver, of a computer-based device, is interacting with a screen of the computer-based device while driving a vehicle, wherein the screen is configured to display a user interface including one or more selectable displayed application pages, each of the one or more selectable displayed application pages displaying one or more visual elements; and
displaying a timer by the processor, as a persistent overlay, on at least a portion of each of the one or more selectable displayed application pages, the timer being indicative of a time duration of the driver'"'"'s interaction with the screen while driving, wherein at least one of the visual elements, overlaid by the timer, remains viewable and accessible by the driver of the computer-based device.
