METHOD FOR ADMINISTERING A DRIVING TEST
First Claim
1. A method for administering a driving test to a test subject comprising the steps of:
- providing a mobile computing device and a test vehicle;
receiving from a server a driving test to said mobile computing device, said driving test including at least one test route and at least one test event, said test event including a set of location coordinates corresponding to location of said at least one test event;
continuously receiving sets of location coordinates corresponding to the current location of said test vehicle in which the mobile computing device is traveling;
wherein said method further comprising the steps of generating a description of said test event when said location coordinates of said test vehicle matches said set of location coordinates of said test event and capturing user input indicative of said test subject'"'"'s performance in respect of said test event.

Abstract
A method for administering a driving test providing a mobile computing device in wireless communication with a test server initially receives from the test server a driving test, which includes a test route and test events along the test route. As the test vehicle is driven along the test route, whenever the current location of the test vehicle match the location coordinates of a test event, the mobile device outputs a description of the test event and captures input from the driving tester indicative of the test subject'"'"'s performance on the test event. External black box data or video images may also be input to the mobile device. At the end of the test the captured input is uploaded to the test server for scoring.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a computer readable code embodied thereon, said computer readable code comprising a set of instructions that when executed on a mobile computing device causes said mobile computing device to:
-
receive from a server a driving test route, at least one test event associated with a location along said route, and a set of location coordinates corresponding to said test event; receive from a geolocating device a set of location coordinates corresponding to the current location for said mobile device; wherein said mobile computing device is instructed to generate a description of said test event when said set of location coordinates received from said geolocating device matches said set of location coordinates corresponding to said test event received from said server and to capture user input representing a test subject'"'"'s performance in respect of said test event. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for administering a driving test comprising:
-
a server; a client device in operative communication with said server; and a geolocating device operatively connected to said client device; said client device is operative to receive from said server a driving route, at least one test event corresponding to a respective fixed location along said driving route, and fixed location coordinates of each said at least one test event; and said client device is operative to receive from said geolocating device current location coordinates corresponding to said client device'"'"'s current location; wherein said client device generates a description of said test event when said client device'"'"'s current location matches a fixed location for said test event and captures user input indicative of a test subject'"'"'s performance on said test event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
said non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores executable code readable by said processor.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein said code comprising instructions that when executed on said client device causes said client device to administer a driving test by:
-
determining, based on a set of pre-defined criteria, a driving test route and at least one test event along said route, said at least one test event is associated with a set of location coordinates; sending to a mobile computing device said driving test route and said at least one test event; and receiving from said mobile computing device a respective performance grade for at least one said test event.
