Driver performance ratings
First Claim
1. A driving analysis system comprising a first vehicle on-board data recording system and a driving analysis server:
- wherein the first vehicle on-board data recording system comprises;
one or more vehicle operation sensors configured to record vehicle operation data at a first vehicle associated with a driver; and
one or more telematics devices configured to transmit the recorded vehicle operation data from the first vehicle to the driving analysis server,wherein the driving analysis server comprises a processor and a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the driving analysis server to;
receive the vehicle operation data from the first vehicle on-board data recording system for a driving trip;
determine, based on the received vehicle operation data and for a predetermined period of a travel of the first vehicle during the driving trip, a base driver performance rating;
determine a driving score reduction based on the received vehicle operation data and for the predetermined period of the travel, wherein the vehicle operation data comprises one or more of a number of hard braking events, a number of speeding instances, or a length of time traveled at night;
determine, based on the base driver performance rating and the driving score reduction, at least one driver performance rating;
compare the at least one driver performance rating against one or more predetermined driver performance rating thresholds; and
select one of a plurality of driver levels based on the comparison.

Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses that may facilitate communications to rate driver performance and provide a driver rating to a driver in a competitive manner are provided. Driver computing devices may collect drive data (e.g., vehicle telematics data) to determine whether conditions are met (i.e., whether a driver speeds, brakes hard, or drives at night). The system may generate a driver rating based on these conditions. The rating may be used in a competitive manner (such as by sharing ratings with friends) and rewards given for good performance (such as new levels for display in a social environment, or financial incentives such as charitable donation or sweepstakes entry).

8. A driving analysis system comprising a mobile device and a driving analysis server,
wherein the mobile device comprises one or more vehicle operation sensors configured to record vehicle operation data at a first vehicle and to transmit the vehicle operation data from the first vehicle to the driving analysis server, wherein the vehicle operation data comprises speed information and braking information associated with the first vehicle associated with a driver, and wherein the driving analysis server comprises a processor and a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the driving analysis server to: -
receive the vehicle operation data from the mobile device; determine, based on the received vehicle operation data and for a predetermined period of a travel, a base driver performance rating; determine a driving score reduction based on the received vehicle operation data and for the predetermined period of the travel, wherein the vehicle operation data comprises one or more of a number of hard braking events, a number of speeding instances, or a length of time traveled at night; determine, based on the base driver performance rating and the driving score reduction, at least one driver performance rating; compare the at least one driver performance rating against one or more predetermined driver performance rating thresholds; and select one of a plurality of driver levels based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
