SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHEN SMARTPHONE IS IN VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A device, for use with a database having a detected parameter signature stored therein, the detected parameter signature being based on a first parameter and a second parameter, said device comprising:
- an accessing component operable to access the detected parameter signature from the database;
a parameter-detecting component operable to detect a third parameter, to detect a fourth parameter and to generate a second detected parameter signature based on the third detected parameter and the fourth detected parameter;
a comparing component operable to generate a comparison signal; and
an identifying component operable to identify a location based on the comparison signal,wherein said comparison component is operable to generate the comparison signal based on a comparison of the detected parameter signature and the second detected parameter signature.

Abstract
A device includes a parameter detector, an input component, an accessing component, a comparator and an identifier. The parameter detector detects a first parameter and a second parameter and can generate a detected parameter signature based on the first detected parameter and the second detected parameter. The input component can input the detected parameter signature into a database. The accessing component can access the detected parameter signature from the database. The comparator can generate a comparison signal. The identifier can identify a location based on the comparison signal. The parameter detector can further detect a third parameter and a fourth parameter and can generate a second detected parameter signature based on the third detected parameter and the fourth detected parameter. The comparator can generate the comparison signal based on the detected parameter signature and the second detected parameter signature.
