Abstract

A system for transmitting a driving event comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a portion of data. The processor is configured to detect a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data; determine whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria, indicate that the driving event is not to be transmitted.

Claims

1. A system for transmitting a driving event, comprising:

an interface configured to receive a portion of data; and

a processor configured to;

detect a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data;

determine whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and

in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria,

indicate by marking that the driving event is not to be transmitted.

2. A system as in claim 1, wherein detecting the driving event uses a threshold increased or reduced based at least in part on event exceptions.

3. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

in the event that the driving event is indicated not to be transmitted;

mark the driving event as allowed to be removed.

4. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

in the event that the driving event is indicated not to be transmitted;

mark the driving event as not transmitted.

5. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

in the event that the driving event is indicated not to be transmitted;

mark the driving event as deleted.

6. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

in the event that the driving event is not indicated not to be transmitted;

transmit the driving event.

7. A system as in claim 1, wherein determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria comprises checking location-specific legal information exceptions.

8. A system as in claim 1, wherein determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria comprises checking customer-specific event exceptions.

9. A system as in claim 1, wherein determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria comprises checking customer-specific region exceptions.

10. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to record a driving event.

11. A system as in claim 10, wherein recording a driving event comprises recording video information or still picture information.

12. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a current segment.

13. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine subsegment information.

14. A system as in claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

in the event that the driving event does not satisfy non-transmitting criteria, mark that the driving event has been checked against the exception database.

15. A system as in claim 14, wherein the driving event is marked with an indication of a version or date of the exception database.

16. A system as in claim 1, wherein the driving event includes an indication of a version or date of a location-specific legal information database.

17. A system as in claim 1, wherein the non-transmitting criteria comprises an exception indication.

18. A system as in claim 17, wherein the exception indication is based on a location specific legal data.

19. A system as in claim 18, wherein the location specific legal data comprises one of the following:

a speed limit error, a stop sign error, a parking zone error, or a railroad crossing error.

20. A method for transmitting a driving event, comprising:

receiving a portion of data;

detecting a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data;

determining, using a processor, whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and

in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria;

indicating by marking that the driving event is not to be transmitted.

21. A computer program product for transmitting a driving event, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving a portion of data;

detecting a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data;

determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and

in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria;

indicating by marking that the driving event is not to be transmitted.
