Telematics system, apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a process of using telematics data to determine a vehicle operator, the process comprising:
- capture telematics data from a telematics device retrieving data from a vehicle;
determine a driver electronic signature from the captured telematics data;
compare in the computer the determined driver signature with driver signatures stored in memory coupled to the computer wherein the driver signatures are associated with the vehicle from which the telematics data is captured;
determine a vehicle operator via the comparing the determined driver signature with driver signatures stored in the memory and transmit a signal to a user device associated with the vehicle operator causing one or more features on the vehicle operator'"'"'s user device to be disabled; and
send a configuration signal to the vehicle being operated by the determined vehicle operator which degrades performance of the vehicle when the determined vehicle operator is within a certain group of drivers.

Abstract
A system and process for using telematics data to determine a vehicle operator. Telematics data is captured from a telematics device which retrieves data from a vehicle associated with a plurality of vehicle operators. A driver electronic signature is determined from the captured telematics data and then compared to determined driver signatures stored in memory and associated with the vehicle from which the telematics data is captured. A vehicle operator is then determined from comparing the determined driver signature with driver signatures stored in memory.

8. A system that utilizes telematics data to determine a vehicle operator and disable one or more features on a user device associated the vehicle operator, the system comprising:
-
a telematics device coupled to a vehicle configured to capture telematics data regarding operation of the vehicle; a computer processor having memory coupled to the telematics device wherein the memory has instructions causing the processor to; determine a driver electronic signature from the captured telematics data; compare the driver signature as determined with driver signatures stored in the memory and associated with the vehicle from which the telematics data is captured; determine a vehicle operator via the comparing the determined driver signature with driver signatures stored in the memory and transmit a signal to a user device associated with the vehicle operator as determined causing one or more features on the vehicle operator'"'"'s device to be disabled; and send a configuration signal to the vehicle being operated by the determined vehicle operator which degrades performance of the vehicle when the determined vehicle operator is within a certain group of drivers. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
