METHOD FOR MOBILE DEVICE-BASED COOPERATIVE DATA CAPTURE
First Claim
1. A method for improving movement characteristic determination using a plurality of mobile devices in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a first movement dataset corresponding to at least one of a first location sensor and a first motion sensor of a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the first movement dataset is associated with a first time period;
receiving a second movement dataset corresponding to at least one of a second location sensor and a second motion sensor of a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the second movement dataset is associated with the first time period;
detecting satisfaction of a device association condition indicative of the first and the second mobile devices residing in the vehicle, based on the first and the second movement datasets;
after detecting the satisfaction of the device association condition;
receiving a first subsequent movement dataset corresponding to the at least one of the first location sensor and the first motion sensor of the first mobile device, wherein the first subsequent movement dataset is associated with a second time period;
receiving a second subsequent movement dataset corresponding to the at least one of the second location sensor and the second motion sensor of the second mobile device, wherein the second subsequent movement dataset is associated with the second time period; and
retrieving a multi-device-based vehicle movement model;
selecting the multi-device-based vehicle movement model from a set of stored vehicle movement models comprising the multi-device-based vehicle movement model and a single-device-based vehicle movement model, based on detecting the satisfaction of the device association condition; and
determining a vehicle movement characteristic based on the multi-device-based vehicle movement model and the first and the second subsequent movement datasets, wherein the vehicle movement characteristic is associated with movement of the vehicle.
