Method and system for monitoring interactions with a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring interactions with a vehicle, the method comprising:
- associating a mobile device of a user allowed for operating the vehicle with a device capable of providing an indication of a position of the vehicle;
obtaining position data from the device capable of providing an indication of a position of the vehicle;
obtaining position data from the mobile device associated with the device;
comparing the obtained position data from the device with the obtained position data from the mobile device; and
using the comparison of the position data of the device with the position data of the mobile device to thereby monitor interactions with the vehicle.
