DCFirst Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at an Operational Measurement Unit (OMU), an operation indication associated with operation of a first vehicle, wherein the operation indication is generated responsive to power being supplied to the OMU, and, wherein the OMU comprises an operational measurement component configured to advance an operational count in response to receiving the operation indication;
in response to receiving the operation indication, advancing the operational count;
receiving, at a Vehicular Identification Unit (VIU), vehicular identification data related to the first vehicle, wherein the vehicular identification data comprises identification (ID) data representing the first vehicle;
transmitting the operational count and the ID data wirelessly to a mobile computing device;
receiving, at the mobile computing device, the transmitted operational count and the ID data;
updating, at the mobile computing device, a mirrored count responsive to receiving the transmitted operational count;
comparing, at the mobile computing device, the updated mirrored count with a previous count;
generating, responsive to the comparing, a monitor indication representing whether the vehicle has been monitored by the mobile communication device during a previous operation;
receiving, by a processor associated with the mobile computing device, sensor data from one or more sensors within the mobile computing device;
transmitting, by the mobile computing device, telematics data, wherein the telematics data comprises at least a portion of one or more of the operational count, the ID data, the monitor indication, and the sensor data.

Abstract
Certain example embodiments of the disclosed technology may include systems and methods for telematics monitoring. An example method is provided that includes receiving, at a mobile computing device, and from a Vehicle Identification Unit (VIU), identification (ID) data representing a first vehicle. The method further includes receiving, by the mobile computing device, sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the mobile computing device. Certain embodiments may further include receiving, at an Operational Measurement Unit (OMU), an operation indication associated with the first vehicle. The OMU may include an operational measurement component configured to advance an operational count in response to receiving the operation indication. Certain example embodiments may include transmitting telematics data by the mobile computing device. In certain embodiments, the telematics data may include least a portion of one or more of the ID data, the sensor data, and/or the operational count data.
