SEATBELT USAGE LOGGING AND ALERTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for logging failures of using seatbelts by occupants of a motor vehicle, said system comprising:
- a digital processor;
a non-volatile memory;
an odometer/speedometer;
a clock circuit;
seatbelt sensors; and
passenger occupancy sensors data,wherein said digital processor utilizes data from said odometer/speedometer for determining the distances travelled by said motor vehicle while occupants were not using seatbelts,wherein said non-volatile memory is configured to record logs for said failures,wherein said digital processor utilizes data from said clock circuit for counting the total times while one or more occupants were not using their seatbelts,and wherein said odometer/speedometer verifies that said failures occurred while said motor vehicle was in motion.

Abstract
A system is provided for logging failures of using seatbelts by occupants of a motor vehicle. The system includes a digital processor, a non-volatile memory, an odometer/speedometer, a clock circuit, seatbelt sensors and a passenger occupancy sensors data. The digital processor utilizes data from the odometer/speedometer for determining the distances travelled by the motor vehicle while occupants were not using seatbelts. The non-volatile memory is configured to record logs for the failures. The digital processor utilizes data from the clock circuit for counting the total times while one or more occupants were not using their seatbelts. The odometer/speedometer verifies that the failures occurred while the motor vehicle was in motion.
