Automatic identification of a vehicle driver based on driving behavior
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- compiling a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on received vehicle data;
comparing the candidate DIP to at least one pre-stored DIP;
incrementing a DIP credibility score of the at least one pre-stored DIP if there is a DIP match between the candidate DIP and the at least one pre-stored DIP; and
deleting the at least one pre-stored DIP from memory if the DIP credibility score is below a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed that identify a motor vehicle operation and whether a driver is operating a mobile device. One example of operation may include a method that includes receiving vehicle data based on active operation of a vehicle and compiling a candidate driver identification profile (DIP) based on the received vehicle data. The method may also include comparing the candidate DIP to a pre-stored DIP and determining a match between the candidate DIP and the pre-stored DIP. The method may also include applying a restriction to a mobile station operated by a driver of the vehicle responsive to the match determination.
