1. A method, comprising:
- compiling, via a computing device, a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on received vehicle data captured during operation of a vehicle;
identifying, via the computing device, a vehicle driver by determining a match between the candidate DIP and at least one pre-stored DIP, provided that a DIP credibility score assigned to the pre-stored DIP is equal to or above a predetermined credibility threshold dependent on the least one pre-stored DIP having matched at least one candidate DIP within a period of time; and
applying, based on one or more mobile station usage policies, at least one restriction to a mobile station operated by the vehicle driver based on a match of the candidate DIP and the at least one pre stored DIP.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed that identify a motor vehicle operation and whether a driver is operating a mobile device. One example of operation may include a method that includes receiving vehicle data based on active operation of a vehicle and compiling a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on the received vehicle data. The method may also include comparing the candidate DIP to a pre-stored DIP and determining a match between the candidate DIP and the pre-stored DIP. The method may also include applying a restriction to a mobile station operated by a driver of the vehicle responsive to the match determination.

7. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive vehicle data captured during operation of a vehicle; a processor configured to; compile, via a computing device, a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on received vehicle data captured during operation of a vehicle; identify, via the computing device, a vehicle driver by determining a match between the candidate DIP and at least one pre-stored DIP, provided that a DIP credibility score assigned to the pre-stored DIP is equal to or above a predetermined credibility threshold dependent on the least one pre-stored DIP having matched at least one candidate DIP within a period of time; and apply, based on one or more mobile station usage policies, at least one restriction to a mobile station operated by the vehicle driver based on a match of the candidate DIP and the at least one pre-stored DIP. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
-
compiling, via a computing device, a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on received vehicle data captured during operation of a vehicle; identifying, via the computing device, a vehicle driver by determining a match between the candidate DIP and at least one pre-stored DIP, provided that a DIP credibility score assigned to the pre-stored DIP is equal to or above a predetermined credibility threshold dependent on the least one pre-stored DIP having matched at least one candidate DIP within a period of time; and applying, based on one or more mobile station usage policies, at least one restriction to a mobile station operated by the vehicle driver based on a match of the candidate DIP and the at least one pre-stored DIP. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
