Abstract

A system and method to process distracted driving habits of drivers. An example computer-implemented method to process distracted driving habits of drivers includes receiving a transmission of at least one electronic image from an imaging device, the electronic image showing a distracted driver. The method also includes processing the at least one electronic image by a computer to associate the image with a distracted driving category. The method also includes delivering a report based on the processed image.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method to process distracted driving habits of drivers, comprising:

receiving, by a compilation service, a transmission of at least one electronic image from a mobile camera, the electronic image showing a distracted driver, wherein the distracted driver is spotted by a person using the mobile camera;

processing the at least one electronic image by a computer to associate the at least one electronic image with a distracted driving category;

assessing risk for future distracted driving by the distracted driver spotted by the person using the mobile camera, based on processing the at least one electronic image and a risk assessment tool; and

delivering a report based on the processed at least one electronic image

both user and third party receiving payment for delivering the reports; and

another third party purchases and paying for the report.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a payment for transmission of the at least one electronic image.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of a user and a third party receiving a payment for delivering the report.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving transmission of information for the at least one electronic image.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the information for the at least one electronic image comprises an eyewitness account.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein processing comprises establishing a pattern of behavior.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising sorting the at least one electronic image by a license plate shown in the at least one electronic image.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising searching a database for the license plate in the at least one electronic image.
