METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY IDENTIFYING A DRIVER BY CREATING A UNIQUE DRIVER PROFILE FOR A VEHICLE FROM DRIVING HABITS
First Claim
1. A method for automatically creating a unique driver profile for driver of a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving a first request signal on an electronic circuit one or more processors on a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus to create a unique driver profile for a driver of a vehicle including the portable OBD-2 apparatus plugged into an OBD-2 port integral to the vehicle when the vehicle is turned on;
receiving a plurality of event signals on the electronic circuit from a plurality of individual components of the vehicle uniquely configured by the driver data collected from one or more collection interfaces including unique driving habits and behavior of the driver and physical positions of selected ones of the plurality of individual components of the vehicle configured by the driver in a passenger compartment of the vehicle when driving the vehicle and Global Positioning System (GPS) geo-location and time stamp data of the vehicle and signals resulting from the driver operating the vehicle including driving habits of the driver;
creating from the electronic circuit the unique driver profile in a non-transitory computer readable medium connected to the electronic circuit;
storing from the electronic circuit the created unique driver profile and electronic information for the received plurality of event signals in the non-transitory computer readable medium connected to the electronic circuit; and
continually updating from the electronic circuit the unique driver profile and the electronic information for the received plurality of event signals in the non-transitory computer readable medium until a second request signal is received on the electronic circuit indicating the vehicle is being turned off.

Abstract
A method and system for automatically creating a unique driver profile for a vehicle from driving habits. A unique driver profile is created with a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus and/or linked and/or standalone network device (e.g., smart phone, tablet, wearable device, etc.). The unique driver profile is created from the accepted plural signals including time and geo-location data based on driving habits of the driver. The unique driver profile information is recorded on the apparatus and/or network device, downloaded at a later time or sent in real-time to check and verify an identity of the driver. The unique driver profile helps confirm an identity of the driver of the vehicle based on unique driving habits of the driver.

10. A method for automatically creating a unique driver profile for a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving a first message including a plurality of driver information on a network device with one or more processors via a communications network from an identified driver of a vehicle; creating on the network device a driver profile for the identified driver from the plurality of driver information; storing from the network device in a database associated with the network device the created driver profile as a known driver profile for the identified driver including driving habits of the identified driver; receiving a second message on the network device from an electronic circuit with one or more processors on a portable on-board diagnostic series 2 (OBD-2) apparatus including a unique driver profile for a current driver of the vehicle including the portable OBD-2 apparatus plugged into an OBD-2 port integral to the vehicle; conducting a test on the network device to compare the received unique driver profile to the known driver profile for the identified driver to determine whether the identified driver or another driver is actually operating the vehicle, and if the identified driver is not actually operating the vehicle, sending a third message from the network device to another network device with one or more processors indicating another driver may be actually operating the vehicle instead of the identified driver. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A method for creating a unique driver profile for a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving a first request signal on an application on a network device with one or more processors to create a current driver profile for a driver of a vehicle that has been turned on; receiving a plurality of event signals on the application on the network device resulting from the driver operating the vehicle; creating from the application on network device a current driver profile via a vehicle network on the vehicle; storing from the application on the network device the created current driver profile in a non-transitory computer readable medium on the network device; continuously comparing on the application on the network device the created current driver profile to a stored known driver profile; and continuously updating on the application on the network device the created current driver profile in the non-transitory computer readable medium until a second request signal is received on the network device indicating the vehicle is being turned off. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A method for creating a unique driver profile for a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving a first request signal on an application in a vehicle with one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium via a vehicle network in the vehicle from a plurality of individual components on the vehicle to create a unique driver profile for a first driver of a vehicle that has been turned on; receiving a first set of plurality of electronic signals on the application on the vehicle resulting from the first driver configuring physical positions of selected ones of the plurality of individual components of the vehicle in a passenger compartment of the vehicle when operating the vehicle; receiving a second set of plurality of electronic signals on the application on the vehicle resulting from the first driver driving the vehicle; creating from the application on the vehicle the unique driver profile including electronic information received from the first and second set of plurality of electronic signals from the plurality of individual components of the vehicle uniquely configured by the first driver of the vehicle and received as the result of the driver operating the vehicle, the unique drive profile including unique driving habits and unique habits and behavior of the first driver; storing from the application on the vehicle the created unique driver profile in the non-transitory computer readable medium on the vehicle for the first driver; continuously updating on the application on the vehicle the created unique driver profile in the non-transitory computer readable medium until a second request signal is received on the vehicle indicating the vehicle is being turned off; and storing from the application on the vehicle the created unique driver profile as a known driver profile for the first driver the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
