Device and method for detecting operation of motor vehicles by monitored individuals
First Claim
1. A device for determining whether an individual has operated a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one sensor worn by an individual to be monitored, said at least one sensor detecting at least one of directional angular velocity and linear acceleration along three orthogonal axes of an object to which it is mounted; and
a data storage unit operationally coupled with said at least one sensor and storing said kinematic data detected by said at least one sensor;
wherein it is determined whether said individual has operated a motor vehicle based upon analysis of said kinematic data stored in said data storage unit.

Abstract
A License Sanction Enforcement System™ technology that includes at least one sensor worn by an individual to be monitored and a data storage unit. The sensor can detect directional angle and acceleration motion. The data storage unit is coupled with the sensor and stores the angle kinematic data detected by the sensor. The device determines whether the individual is operating or has operated a motor vehicle based upon analysis of the angle and acceleration data, and creates a record in the data storage unit of each occurrence that operation of a motor vehicle is detected. Alternatively, the data storage unit may be used to store the raw detection data, which can be transferred to an external data processing device for analysis.
