Systems and methods for detecting and reducing distracted driving
First Claim
1. A system that detects and reduces distracted driving comprising:
- a mobile electronic device communicatively coupled to a biometric sensor and a vehicle speed sensor, wherein the biometric sensor is configured to detect biometric information of a first user in a first vehicle, wherein the vehicle speed sensor is configured to detect vehicle speed information of the first vehicle, and wherein the mobile electronic device comprises one or more processors configured to;
determine whether there is an indication that the first user is distracted based at least in part on the biometric information;
determine whether the first user is driving the first vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle speed information;
determine whether a second vehicle is within a threshold distance from the first vehicle; and
in response to determining that the first user is distracted, the first user is driving, and the second vehicle is within the threshold distance from the first vehicle, send an indication to a mobile device of a second user of the second vehicle or a communication device of the second vehicle that the first user is distracted.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, with one or more processors, biometric information of a first user. The method also includes determining, with the one or more processors, whether there is an indication that the first user is distracted based on the biometric information. The method further includes receiving, with the one or more processors, vehicle speed information. The method also includes determining, with the one or more processors, whether there is an indication that the first user is driving based on the vehicle speed information. The method further includes in response to determining that the first user is distracted and that the first user is driving, instructing, with the one or more processors, a mobile device associated with the first user to contact a second user or a call center.

11. A method that detects and reduces distracted driving comprising:
-
receiving, with one or more processors, biometric information of a user in a vehicle; determining, with the one or more processors, whether the user is distracted based at least in part on the biometric information; receiving, with the one or more processors, vehicle speed information of the vehicle; determining, with the one or more processors, whether the user is driving the vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle speed information; and in response to determining that the user is distracted and that the user is driving, instructing, with the one or more processors, a mobile device associated with the user to arrange for transportation for the user via a transportation network application stored on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 17, 18)

13. One or more tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media comprising instructions that detect and reduce distracted driving, wherein the instructions are configured to cause a processor of a first mobile device to:
-
receive biometric information of a user in a first vehicle; determine whether the user is distracted based at least in part on the biometric information; receive vehicle speed information of the first vehicle; determine whether the first user is driving the first vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle speed information; determine whether a second vehicle is within a threshold distance from the first vehicle; and in response to determining that the first user is distracted, the first user is driving, and the second vehicle is within the threshold distance from the first vehicle, send an indication to a second mobile device of a second user of the second vehicle or a communication device of the second vehicle that the first user is distracted. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
