Automobile monitoring for operation analysis
First Claim
1. A method of generating an alert for monitoring operation of a vehicle via a wide-area network, wherein a target server device is distinct from the vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the target server device and from the vehicle via the wide-area network, vehicle-operation data obtained in real time as the vehicle is moving, the vehicle-operation data including real time vehicle location data and real time vehicle speed data;
comparing, by the target server device, a vehicle speed threshold to real time vehicle speed data;
generating, by the target server device, when the real time vehicle speed data exceeds the vehicle speed threshold, the alert indicating that the vehicle speed threshold is exceeded; and
providing, by the target server device, the alert to a designated supervisor of the vehicle.

Abstract
An automobile monitoring arrangement tracks and records automobile operation for post-use automobile operation analysis and in a manner with default-operation modes that facilitate use by automobile owners/supervisors and by those supervised by the automobile owners/supervisors. In one specific embodiment, sounds from the vehicle are monitored while the vehicle is in operation. A sound type is identified as corresponding to the sounds, and a sound level of the sound types are determined. The sound level is compared to a threshold for the sound type, and a vehicle supervisor is notified when the sound level exceeds the sound level threshold for the sound type.

8. A method of setting and generating an alert for monitoring operation of a vehicle via a wide-area network, wherein a target server device is distinct from the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the target server device and from the vehicle via the wide-area network, vehicle-operation data obtained in real time as the vehicle is moving, the vehicle-operation data including real time vehicle speed data and real time vehicle location data; comparing, by the target server device, a GPS-based threshold to real time vehicle location data; generating, by the target server device, when the real time vehicle location data exceeds the GPS-based threshold, the alert indicating that the GPS-based threshold is exceeded; and providing, by the target server device, the alert to a designated supervisor of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of generating an alert for monitoring operation of a vehicle via a wide-area network, wherein a target server device is distinct from the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
establishing a vehicle acceleration threshold; receiving, by the target server device and from the vehicle via the wide-area network, vehicle-operation data obtained in real time as the vehicle is moving, the vehicle-operation data including real time vehicle location data and real time vehicle speed data; processing, by the target server device, vehicle-operation data to provide real time vehicle acceleration data; comparing, by the target server device, the vehicle acceleration threshold to real time vehicle acceleration data; generating, by the target server device, when the real time vehicle acceleration data exceeds the vehicle acceleration threshold, the alert indicating that the vehicle acceleration threshold is exceeded; and providing, by the target server device, the alert to supervising personnel. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
