Method and system for logging vehicle behavior
DCFirst Claim
1. A mobile telecommunications device configured to log driving information associated with a vehicle, the mobile telecommunications device comprising:
- a sensor set comprising an image sensor, an audio sensor, an accelerometer or a positioning module, or a combination thereof;
a user interface;
a processor; and
a memory;
the mobile telecommunications device configured to;
determine, based on the inputs received by the user interface and sensor data from the device'"'"'s sensor set, a start of a driving period during which the mobile device is removably attached to the vehicle and the vehicle is in use;
process the sensor data from the sensor set during the driving period to derive driving information associated with how the vehicle is driven;
store a selection of the driving information to the memory;
wherein the driving information is derived without data from vehicle sensors, and the mobile telecommunications device is controlled by a downloaded application to control the mobile device to detect occurrence of a predetermined event and in response take at least one predetermined action.

Abstract
Methods and systems for logging driving information associated with a vehicle when driven are disclosed. In one aspect, a mobile telecommunications device is provided that is adapted for installation to a vehicle and configured to log driving information associated with the vehicle when driven. The mobile device is arranged to register the start of a driving period during which the mobile device is installed to the vehicle and the vehicle is being driven by a driver. The mobile device is also arranged to process sensor data during the driving period to derive driving information associated with how the vehicle is driven. The mobile device is also arranged to store a selection of the driving information to a memory.
