Split sensing method
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, via a data server, combined data transmitted from a client computing device, the combined data containing (i) On Board Diagnostic (OBD) cap data generated by an OBD cap associated with a vehicle that includes first location data indicative of geographic locations of the vehicle and acceleration data indicative of accelerations of the vehicle, and (ii) client computing device data generated by a client computing device while being located in the vehicle that includes second location data indicative of geographic locations of the vehicle,augmenting, via the data server, the second location data with the acceleration data to improve upon how accurately the first location data indicates the geographic locations of the vehicle as a result of the OBD cap being mechanically coupled to the vehicle and being in a stationary position as the OBD cap data is generated; and
flagging, via the data server, an insurance account associated with the OBD cap when geographic locations of the vehicle, as indicated by the first location data and the second location data, do not match one another.

Abstract
Client side and server side methods for combining data originating from an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) cap with data originating from a client computing device are presented. The method includes receiving, from a client computing device via a computer network, a plurality of OBD cap data originating from an OBD cap and receiving, from the client computing device via the computer network, a plurality of client computing device data originating from the client computing device. The method also includes selecting, at a processor, a first data parameter from the plurality of OBD cap data and selecting, at the processor, a second data parameter from the plurality of client computing device data. The method further includes analyzing, at the processor, the first data parameter and the second data parameter and flagging, at the processor, an insurance account associated with the OBD device as a result of the analysis.

8. A computer server, comprising:
-
a computer-readable memory storing executable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the computer-readable memory, and in response to; receive combined data transmitted from a client computing device, the combined data containing (i) On Board Diagnostic (OBD) cap data generated by an OBD cap associated with a vehicle that includes first location data indicative of geographic locations of the vehicle and acceleration data indicative of accelerations of the vehicle, and (ii) client computing device data generated by a client computing device while being located in the vehicle that includes second location data indicative of geographic locations of the vehicle, augment the second location data with the acceleration data to improve upon how accurately the first location data indicates the geographic locations of the vehicle as a result of the OBD cap being mechanically coupled to the vehicle and being in a stationary position as the OBD cap data is generated; and flag an insurance account associated with the OBD cap when geographic locations of the vehicle, as indicated by the first location data and the second location data, do not match one another. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
an On Board Diagnostic (OBD) cap configured to generate OBD data associated with a vehicle that includes first location data indicative of geographic locations of the vehicle and acceleration data indicative of accelerations of the vehicle; a client computing device configured to generate a client computing device data while being located in the vehicle that includes second location data indicative of geographic locations of the vehicle, and to transmit the OBD Cap data and the client computing device data as combined data; and a server configured to (i) receive the combined data, (ii) augment the second location data with the acceleration data to improve upon how accurately the first location data indicates the geographic locations of the vehicle as a result of the OBD cap being mechanically coupled to the vehicle and being in a stationary position as the OBD cap data is generated, and (iii) flag an insurance account associated with the OBD cap when geographic locations of the vehicle, as indicated by the first location data and the second location data, do not match one another. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
