METHOD FOR SMARTPHONE-BASED ACCIDENT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A system for determining a vehicular accident associated with first user and a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a first application executing on a first device associated with the first user, wherein the first application is operable to collect a first movement dataset sampled from at least one of a first motion sensor and a first location sensor of the first device;
an accident detection processing system operable to;
receive a traffic dataset describing traffic conditions proximal a vehicle location extracted from the first movement dataset, wherein the traffic conditions comprise at least one of;
a traffic level, a traffic law, and accident data;
retrieve an accident detection model; and
determine a vehicular accident event with the accident detection model, the traffic dataset, and the first movement dataset.

Abstract
A method and system for detecting an accident of a vehicle, the method including: receiving a movement dataset collected at least at one of a location sensor and a motion sensor arranged within the vehicle, during a time period of movement of the vehicle, extracting a set of movement features associated with at least one of a position, a velocity, and an acceleration characterizing the movement of the vehicle during the time period, detecting a vehicular accident event from processing the set of movement features with an accident detection model, and in response to detecting the vehicular accident event, automatically initiating an accident response action.

13. A method for determining a vehicular accident associated with a user and a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
collecting a movement dataset corresponding to at least one of a location sensor and a motion sensor of a mobile computing device proximal the vehicle; extracting a vehicle motion characteristic from the movement dataset, wherein the vehicle motion characteristic describes movement of the vehicle; determining a vehicular accident event based on an accident detection model and the vehicle motion characteristic; and after determining the vehicular accident event, facilitating an accident response action associated with the vehicular accident. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
