System and method for monitoring driving behavior with feedback
First Claim
1. A network system for monitoring driving behavior, comprising:
- one or more vehicle-mountable motion sensing mechanisms configured to generate a plurality of data relevant to vehicle moving attitude indicative of one or more of manual and mental risks for a vehicle operator, the plurality of data wirelessly transmittable;
a central data processing system for collecting the plurality of data transmitted from the one or more motion sensing mechanisms;
a risk assessment engine operatively coupled with the central data processing system and operable to analyze the one or more of manual and mental risks based on the collected plurality of data; and
a feedback engine operatively coupled with the central data processing system and operable to yield indicia based on the analyzed data, the indicia reportable to one or more of the vehicle operator and an authorized data recipient, the feedback engine comprisinga reward engine configured to reward one or more of good and improved driving behavior of the vehicle operator.

Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a network system for monitoring driving behavior comprises one or more vehicle-mountable motion sensing mechanisms that generate a plurality of data relevant to vehicle moving attitude. The data being indicative of manual or mental risks for a vehicle operator is wirelessly transmittable. The network system also comprises a central data processing system that collects the data transmitted from the motion sensing mechanisms. A risk assessment engine operatively coupled to the central data processing system analyzes the collected data to determine the manual or mental risks. The central data processing system further comprises a feedback engine operable to yield indicia based on the analyzed data that is reportable to the vehicle operator or an authorized data recipient. A reward engine operatively coupled to the feedback engine provides incentives to encourage good or improved driving behavior.
