AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION OF A VEHICLE DRIVER BASED ON DRIVING BEHAVIOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving vehicle data based on active operation of a vehicle;
compiling a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on the received vehicle data;
comparing the candidate DIP to at least one pre-stored DIP;
determining a match between the candidate DIP and the at least one pre-stored DIP;
applying at least one restriction to a mobile station operated by a driver of the vehicle responsive to the match determination;
incrementing a DIP credibility score based on the DIP match to increase a DIP credibility threshold value for subsequent comparison operations; and
if the DIP credibility threshold values falls below a predetermined threshold value then deleting the at least one pre-stored DIP from memory.

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.

8. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive vehicle data based on active operation of a vehicle; a processor configured to; compile a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on the received vehicle data; compare the candidate DIP to at least one pre-stored DIP; determine a match between the candidate DIP and the at least one pre-stored DIP; and a transmitter configured to transmit at least one restriction to a mobile station operated by a driver of the vehicle responsive to the match determination; wherein the processor is further configured to increment a DIP credibility score based on the DIP match to increase a DIP credibility threshold value for subsequent comparison operations; wherein if the DIP credibility threshold values falls below a predetermined threshold value then the at least one pre-stored DIP is deleted from memory. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
-
receiving vehicle data based on active operation of a vehicle; compiling a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on the received vehicle data; comparing the candidate DIP to at least one pre-stored DIP; determining a match between the candidate DIP and the at least one pre-stored DIP; applying at least one restriction to a mobile station operated by a driver of the vehicle responsive to the match determination; incrementing a DIP credibility score based on the DIP match to increase a DIP credibility threshold value for subsequent comparison operations; and if the DIP credibility threshold values falls below a predetermined threshold value then deleting the at least one pre-stored DIP from memory. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 20)
