1. A method for monitoring vehicle motion using a mobile device associated with a user, comprising:
- at an application executing on the mobile device in an idle state, detecting that the user has breached a first geofence using at least one of a motion sensor and a location sensor of the mobile device, wherein the first geofence defines a first origin and a first radius, wherein the application is operable between the idle state, an in-detection state, and a drive state;
transitioning the application into the in-detection state in response to detecting that the user has breached the first geofence;
determining, at the application in the in-detection state, that the user is in a driving activity state based on a user activity model;
transitioning the application into the drive state at a time point in response to determining that the user is in the driving activity state, wherein the drive state comprises;
collecting a movement dataset using at least one of the motion sensor and the location sensor,determining a second origin and a second radius based on the movement dataset, andregenerating the first geofence at the second origin and with the second radius;
analyzing the movement dataset to generate a set of vehicle movement characteristics; and
transmitting the set of vehicle movement characteristics to a database and storing the set of vehicle movement characteristics in association with the user and the time point.

6. A method for monitoring vehicle motion using a mobile device associated with a user, comprising:
-
receiving a trigger at an application executing on the mobile device in an idle state, wherein the application is operable between the idle state, an in-detection state, and a drive state; in response to the trigger, operating the application in the in-detection state, comprising; collecting activity data using at least one of a motion sensor and a location sensor of the mobile device, determining a user activity state based on the activity data according to a user activity model, based on the user activity state, operating the application in one of the idle state and the drive state; in response to operating the application in the drive state; collecting a movement dataset using at least one of the motion sensor and the location sensor, and analyzing the movement dataset to generate a set of vehicle movement characteristics; and in response to operating the application in the idle state; resetting a trigger condition, wherein satisfaction of the trigger condition generates the trigger. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
