Method and System for Logging Vehicle Behaviour
First Claim
1. A mobile telecommunications device configured to log driving information associated with a vehicle, the mobile telecommunications device comprising:
- a sensor set comprising an image sensor, an audio sensor, an accelerometer or a positioning module, or a combination thereof;
a user interface;
a processor and;
a memory;
the mobile telecommunications device being configured to;
determine, based on the inputs received by the user interface and sensor data from the device'"'"'s sensor set, a start of a driving period during which the mobile device is removably attached to the vehicle and the vehicle is in use;
process the sensor data from the sensor set during the driving period to derive driving information associated with how the vehicle is driven; and
store a selection of the driving information to the memory;
wherein the driving information is derived without data from the vehicle sensors, and the memory comprises;
a long term memory for persistently storing driving information and a short term memory for transiently storing driving information, wherein the short term memory receives driving information at a higher update rate than the long term memory, the mobile telecommunications device being further configured to;
write driving information to the short term memory at a predetermined update rate during the driving period in a predetermined sequence; and
,overwrite the driving information previously written to the short term memory in accordance with the predetermined sequence.

Abstract
Methods and systems for logging driving information associated with a vehicle when driven are disclosed. In one aspect, a mobile telecommunications device is provided that is adapted for installation to a vehicle and configured to log driving information associated with the vehicle when driven. The mobile device is arranged to register the start of a driving period during which the mobile device is installed to the vehicle and the vehicle is being driven by a driver. The mobile device is also arranged to process sensor data during the driving period to derive driving information associated with how the vehicle is driven. The mobile device is also arranged to store a selection of the driving information to a memory.
