SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DRIVER DISTRACTION DETERMINATION
First Claim
1. A method for determining distraction of a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
- sampling sensor measurements at an onboard system of the vehicle, wherein the sensor measurements comprise an image of the driver;
receiving the image at a face detection module of the onboard system, and generating a first output, wherein the first output is indicative of the presence of a face in the image;
receiving the image at a driver distraction module of the onboard system, and generating a second output contemporaneously with generating the first output, wherein the second output is indicative of a distracted state;
determining that the driver of the vehicle is characterized by the distracted state, based on a combination of the first output and the second output;
determining a context of the distracted state;
determining a score of the distracted state based on the context of the distracted state; and
notifying the driver, at an output of the onboard system of the vehicle and in substantially real-time, based on the distracted state, the context of the distracted state, and the score of the distracted state.

Abstract
A method for determining distraction of a driver of a vehicle, including sampling sensor measurements at an onboard system of the vehicle; generating an output indicative of a distracted state; determining that the driver of the vehicle is characterized by the distracted state, based on the output; generating, at a second distraction detection module of a remote computing system, a second output indicative that the driver is characterized by the distracted state, based on the sensor measurements; computing a distraction score, at a scoring module of the remote computing system, in response to generating the second output and based on the sensor measurements and the distracted state.

11. A method for determining distraction of a driver of a vehicle, comprising:
-
sampling sensor measurements at an onboard system of the vehicle, during a driving session, wherein the sensor measurements comprise an image of the driver; receiving the image at a face detection module of the onboard system, and generating a first output, wherein the first output is indicative of the presence of a face in the image; receiving the image at a driver distraction module of the onboard system, and generating a second output contemporaneously with generating the first output, wherein the second output is indicative of a distracted state; determining that the driver of the vehicle is characterized by the distracted state, based on a combination of the first output and the second output; transmitting the sensor measurements to a remote computing system in response to determining that the driver of the vehicle is characterized by the distracted state; generating, at a second driver distraction module of the remote computing system, a third output indicative that the driver is characterized by the distracted state, based on the sensor measurements; computing a driver score, at a scoring module of the remote computing system, in response to generating the third output and based on the sensor measurements and the distracted state. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
