Abstract

A system for frequent data readings includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is to receive frequent data readings. The frequent data readings include a newest data reading. The processor is to determine a simplified running characteristic based at least in part on the newest data readings and a last simplified running characteristic, and store the simplified running characteristic.

Claims

1. A system for frequent data readings, comprising:

an input interface to receive frequent data readings, wherein the frequent data readings comprise a newest data reading; and

a processor to;

determine a current value of a simplified running characteristic based at least in part on the newest data reading and a previous value of the simplified running characteristic;

store the current value of the simplified running characteristic; and

determine a trigger level based at least in part on the current value of the simplified running characteristic.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises a single value.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises a predetermined set of values within a rolling window.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further to determine whether to trigger an event.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the event has associated sensor data, derived data, video data and/or audio data.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the determination of whether to trigger an event is based at least in part on the trigger level.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the determination of whether to trigger an event is based at least in part on a trigger threshold.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further to upload the current value of the simplified running characteristic.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further to determine an environment value based at least in part on the current value of the simplified running characteristic.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further to determine a driver profile value based at least in part on the current value of the simplified running characteristic.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the determination of the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises an exact calculation.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the determination of the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises an approximate calculation.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises one or more of the following:

an average, a sum, a percentage, a count, or a standard deviation.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the frequent data readings comprise sensor data readings.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the frequent data readings comprise vehicle data readings.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises a vehicle parameter.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the current value of the simplified running characteristic comprises a driver parameter.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein the determination of the current value of the simplified running characteristic is based at least in part on the previous value of the simplified running characteristic and the newest data reading only.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein the newest data reading is not retained after a next data reading of the frequent data readings is received.

20. A method for frequent data readings, comprising:

receiving frequent data readings, wherein the frequent data readings comprise a newest data reading; and

determining, using a processor, a current value of a simplified running characteristic based at least in part on the newest data readings and a previous value of the simplified running characteristic;

storing the current value of the simplified running characteristic; and

determining, using the processor, a trigger level based at least in part on the current value of the simplified running characteristic.

21. A computer program product for frequent data readings, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving frequent data readings, wherein the frequent data readings comprise a newest data reading; and

determining a current value of a simplified running characteristic based at least in part on the newest data readings and a previous value of the simplified running characteristic;

storing the current value of the simplified running characteristic; and

determining a trigger level based at least in part on the current value of the simplified running characteristic.
