Method and system for remotely monitoring intoxication
First Claim
1. A method for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising:
- at a breath sample acquisition device in communication with a mobile computing device of the user,transmitting a breath sample signal, derived from reception of a breath sample from the user, to the mobile computing device, andwithin a time interval, broadcasting a unique signature indicative of the breath sample acquisition device, wherein the time interval is proximal in time to a time point of breath sample provision from the user, wherein the unique signature is at least one of an audible signature, a visible signature, and a tangible signature;
using a sensor of the mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the unique signature in association with the breath sample from the user;
at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device, receiving the breath sample signal and the authentication signal;
generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the breath sample by the user, based upon the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; and
generating an intoxication assessment of the user based upon the breath sample signal.

Abstract
A method and system for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising: prompting the user to provide a breath sample at a time point; at a breath sample acquisition device, generating a breath sample signal upon reception of the breath sample from the user, and broadcasting a unique signature proximal in time to the time point; using a sensor of a mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the unique signature; at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device and the sample acquisition device, receiving the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the breath sample by the user; determining a value of an intoxication metric for the user based upon the breath sample signal; and transforming the verification assessment and the value of the intoxication metric into an analysis of intoxication of the user.

6. A method for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising:
-
at a breath sample acquisition device in communication with a mobile computing device of the user, transmitting a breath sample signal, derived from reception of a breath sample from the user, to the mobile computing device, and broadcasting a unique signature indicative of the breath sample acquisition device, wherein the unique signature is at least one of an audio signature, a visual signature, and a tactile signature; using a sensor of the mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the unique signature in association with the breath sample from the user; at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device, receiving the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the breath sample by the user, based upon the breath sample signal and the authentication signal; and generating an intoxication assessment of the user based upon the breath sample signal. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for remotely monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising:
-
at a sample acquisition device in communication with a mobile computing device, transmitting a sample signal, derived from reception of a sample from the user, to the mobile computing device, and broadcasting a unique signature, comprising a pattern of visible light emission emitted from light emitters of the sample acquisition device; using an optical sensor of the mobile computing device, generating an authentication signal derived from detection of the pattern of light emission in association with the sample from the user; at a processing system in communication with the mobile computing device, generating a verification assessment that validates provision of the sample by the user, based upon the sample signal and the authentication signal; and generating an intoxication assessment of the user based upon the sample signal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
