Method and system for automatically identifying a driver by creating a unique driver profile for a vehicle from driving habits
First Claim
1. A method for automatically identifying habits of a driver of a vehicle with a unique driver profile, comprising:
- receiving a first request signal on ate electronic circuit with one or more processors on a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus plugged into an OBD-2 port integral to a vehicle when the vehicle is turned on to determine with a unique driver profile, whether a driver may be intoxicated while driving the vehicle, the OBD-2 including the unique driver profile previously created and stored for the driver of the vehicle on the portable OBD-2 apparatus in a non-transitory computer readable medium on the OBD-2, the unique driver profile including unique behavior patterns for the driver of the vehicle collected from a plurality of individual components in a passenger compartment of the vehicle;
receiving continuously a plurality of other event signals on the ODB-2 resulting from the driver operating the vehicle and resulting from a plurality of individual components of the vehicle uniquely configured by the driver and collected from one or more collection interfaces indicating current driving behavior patterns of the driver and current physical positions of selected ones of the plurality of individual components of the vehicle configured by the driver in the passenger compartment of the vehicle when driving the vehicle and a Global Positioning System (GPS) geo-location and time stamp data of the vehicle;
conducting continuously a test on the ODB-2 to compare the received plurality of other event signals to those previously stored in the unique driver profile for the driver to determine whether the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated based on the unique behavior patterns for the driver of the vehicle stored in the unique driver profile,and if the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated,sending a first message from the ODB-2 via a wireless interface on the vehicle via a wireless communications network to an external network device with one or more processors indicating the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated.

Abstract
A method and system for automatically creating a unique driver profile for a vehicle from driving habits. A unique driver profile is created with a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus and/or linked and/or standalone network device (e.g., smart phone, tablet, wearable device, etc.). The unique driver profile is created from the accepted plural signals including time and geo-location data based on driving habits of the driver. The unique driver profile information is recorded on the apparatus and/or network device, downloaded at a later time or sent in real-time to check and verify an identity of the driver. The unique driver profile helps confirm an identity of the driver of the vehicle based on unique driving habits of the driver. The unique driver profile includes unique behavior patterns of the driver comprising “habit evidence” for legal matters associated with the driver proving with recorded data that the driver of the vehicle acted in a particular way on a particular occasion.

15. A system for automatically identifying habits of a driver of a vehicle with a unique driver profile, comprising in combination:
-
a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus plugged into an OBD-2 port integral to a vehicle including one or more processors with a non-transitory computer readable medium; for receiving a first request signal on an electronic circuit with one or more processors on a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus plugged into an OBD-2 port integral to a vehicle when the vehicle is turned on to determine with a unique driver profile, whether a driver may be intoxicated while driving the vehicle, the OBD-2 including the unique driver profile previously created and stored for the driver of the vehicle on the portable OBD-2 apparatus in a non-transitory computer readable medium on the OBD-2, the unique driver profile including unique behavior patterns for the driver of the vehicle collected from a plurality of individual components in a passenger compartment of the vehicle, wherein the unique behavior patterns of the driver of the vehicle include;
acceleration curves, de-acceleration curves, braking, driving speeds, fuel consumption, rpm data, driving routes including GPS time and location data, days of the week of driving activities and time of day of driving activities, behavior patterns;for receiving continuously a plurality of other event signals on the ODB-2 resulting from the driver operating the vehicle and resulting from a plurality of individual components of the vehicle uniquely configured by the driver and collected from one or more collection interfaces indicating current driving behavior patterns of the driver and current physical positions of selected ones of the plurality of individual components of the vehicle configured by the driver in a passenger compartment of the vehicle when driving the vehicle and a Global Positioning System (GPS) geo-location and time stamp data of the vehicle, wherein the plurality of received event signals include current lack of awareness behavior patterns, unintentional behavior patterns, uncontrollable behavior patterns and involuntary behavior currently exhibited by the driver while operating the vehicle and different from the unique behavior patterns of the driver stored in the unique driver profile, thereby indicating the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated, and wherein the physical positions of selected ones of the plurality of individual components of the vehicle in the passenger compartment of the vehicle comprise;
physical positions of seats, mirrors, steering wheel, heating, cooling, radio, and physical positon information from sensors, motors, light bulbs, switches, electronic control units, bus interfaces or network interfaces from the passenger compartment of the vehicle;for conducting continuously a test on the ODB-2 to compare the received plurality of other event signals to those previously stored in the unique driver profile for the driver to determine whether the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated based on the unique behavior patterns for the driver of the vehicle stored in the unique driver profile, and if the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated, for sending a first message from the ODB-2 via a wireless interface on the vehicle via a wireless communications network to an external network device with one or more processors indicating the driver operating the vehicle may be intoxicated. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
