DETECTING DRIVING WITH A WEARABLE COMPUTING DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a computing platform of a vehicle, movement associated with a wearable computing device that is located within the vehicle;
identifying, by the computing platform, based on one or more changes to the movement associated with the wearable computing device, a degree of likelihood that a user of the wearable computing device performed an act of driving within the vehicle;
determining, by the computing platform, based on the degree of likelihood, that the user of the wearable computing device is driving the vehicle; and
performing, by the computing platform, based on determining that the user of the wearable computing device is driving the vehicle, an operation.

Abstract
A wearable computing device is described that detects an indication of movement associated with the wearable computing device when a user of the wearable computing device detected being located within a moving vehicle. Based at least in part on the indication of movement, a determination is made that the user of the wearable computing device is currently driving the moving vehicle. An operation is performed based on the determination that the user of the wearable computing device is currently driving the moving vehicle.

13. A computing platform of a vehicle comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a memory comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to; detect movement associated with a wearable computing device that is located within the vehicle; identify, based on one or more changes to the movement associated with the wearable computing device, a degree of likelihood that a user of the wearable computing device performed an act of driving within the vehicle; determine, based on the degree of likelihood, that the user of the wearable computing device is driving the vehicle; and perform, based on determining that the user of the wearable computing device is driving the vehicle, an operation.

- 14. The computing platform of claim 14, wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the at least one processor to perform the operation by restricting access to at least some functionality of the computing platform.
-
17. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing platform of a vehicle to:
-
detect movement associated with a wearable computing device that is located within the vehicle; identify, based on one or more changes to the movement associated with the wearable computing device, a degree of likelihood that a user of the wearable computing device performed an act of driving within the vehicle; determine, based on the degree of likelihood, that the user of the wearable computing device is driving the vehicle; and perform, based on determining that the user of the wearable computing device is driving the vehicle, an operation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
