Abstract

A system and method to process distracted driving habits of drivers. An example computer-implemented method to process distracted driving habits of drivers includes receiving a transmission of at least one electronic image from an imaging device, the electronic image showing a distracted driver. The method also includes processing the at least one electronic image by a computer to associate the image with a distracted driving category. The method also includes delivering a report based on the processed image.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method to process distracted driving habits of drivers, comprising:

receiving a transmission of at least one electronic image from an imaging device, the electronic image showing a distracted driver;

processing the at least one electronic image by a computer to associate the at least one electronic image with a distracted driving category; and

delivering a report based on the processed image.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a payment for transmission of the at least one electronic image.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a payment for delivering the report.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving transmission of information for the at least one electronic image.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the information for the at least one electronic image comprises an eyewitness account.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein processing comprises establishing a pattern of behavior.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising assessing risk for future distracted driving by the distracted driver based on processing the at least one electronic image and a risk assessment tool.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising sorting the at least one electronic image by a license plate shown in the at least one electronic image.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising searching a database for the license plate in the at least one electronic image.

10. A system to process distracted driving habits of drivers, comprising:

an image processor configured to;

extract information from at least one electronic image showing a distracted driver;

confirm that the image shows an instance of distracted driving; and

an output device configured to report the distracted driver to a third party.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a payment processor to remit payment for receiving the at least one electronic image.

12. The system of claim 10, further comprising a payment processor to receive a payment for reporting the distracted driver.

13. The system of claim 10, further comprising a data processor to process supplemental information for the at least one electronic image.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the supplemental information for the at least one electronic image comprises an eyewitness account.

15. The system of claim 10, further comprising a risk assessment tool configured to establish a pattern of behavior.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the risk assessment tool assesses risk of future distracted driving by the distracted driver based on a history of distracted driving.

17. A system to process distracted driving habits of drivers, comprising:

an image processor configured to;

extract information from at least one electronic image showing a distracted driver;

confirm that the image shows an instance of distracted driving;

an output device configured to report the distracted driver to a third party;

a database processor configured to;

sort the at least one electronic image by a license plate shown in the at least one electronic image; and

search a database for the license plate in the at least one electronic image.

18. The system of claim 17, further comprising a payment processor to remit payment for receiving the at least one electronic image, and to receive a payment for reporting the distracted driver.

19. The system of claim 17, further comprising a data processor to process supplemental information for the at least one electronic image.

20. The system of claim 17, further comprising a risk assessment tool configured to:

establish a pattern of behavior; and

assess risk of future distracted driving by the distracted driver based on a history of distracted driving.
