Method and system for remotely monitoring intoxication
First Claim
1. A method for verifying a breath sample of a user, comprising:
- at a mobile computing device of the user;
generating at least one of a first verification signal and a second verification signal;
prompting the user to provide a breath sample;
at the mobile computing device, contemporaneously receiving;
breath sample signal derived from reception of the breath sample from the user at a breath sample acquisition device in communication with the mobile computing device;
the first verification signal, wherein the first verification signal associates the user with the breath sample signal;
the second verification signal, wherein the second verification signal associates the breath sample acquisition device with the breath sample signal;
wherein at least one of the first and second verification signals is transmitted by the breath sample acquisition device;
using a single sensor of the mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the first and second verification signals in association with the breath sample from the user;
at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device, receiving the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; and
generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the breath sample by the user, based upon the breath sample signal and the authentication signal.

Abstract
A method and system for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising: prompting the user to provide a breath sample at a time point; at a breath sample acquisition device, generating a breath sample signal upon reception of the breath sample from the user, and broadcasting a unique signature proximal in time to the time point; using a sensor of a mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the unique signature; at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device and the sample acquisition device, receiving the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the breath sample by the user; determining a value of an intoxication metric for the user based upon the breath sample signal; and transforming the verification assessment and the value of the intoxication metric into an analysis of intoxication of the user.

14. A method for verifying a breath sample of a user, comprising:
-
at the mobile computing device, generating a unique signature indicative of the breath sample acquisition device, wherein the unique signature is configured to be emitted by the breath sample acquisition device; at a mobile computing device of the user, prompting the user to provide a breath sample; at the mobile computing device, contemporaneously receiving; a breath sample signal derived from reception of the breath sample from the user at a breath sample acquisition device in communication with the mobile computing device; the unique signature, wherein the unique signature is emitted by the breath sample acquisition device; and a verification signal that associates the user with the breath sample signal; using a sensor of the mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the unique signature and the verification signal in association with the breath sample from the user; at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device, receiving the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; and generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the breath sample by the user, based upon the breath sample signal and the authentication signal. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
