Abstract

Systems and methods of normalizing and aggregating data from vehicle devices. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data in a variety of message formats and from a variety of device and converting the data into a a standard message format for further processing. Another embodiment combines data readings into vehicle trips for further processing.

Claims

1. A method of normalizing driving performance data from vehicle devices, the method comprising:

receiving a first data message in a first message format from a first device;

receiving a second data message in a second message format from a second device, wherein the second message format is different than the first message format;

converting the first data message into a first standard message in a standard message format; and

converting the second data message into a second standard message in the standard message format.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a third data message in a third message format from a third device, wherein the third message format is different than the first message format and the second message format; and

converting the third data message into a third standard message in the standard message format.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first device and the second device are associated with a first vehicle.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first data message and the second data message are associated with a first parameter.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the first standard message and the second standard message in a database.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing the first standard message and the second standard message in a queue for later processing.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving a first data message comprises receiving the first data message through a first socket associated with the first device, and wherein receiving a second data message comprises receiving the second data message through a second socket associated with the second device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first data message comprises compressed data, and the method further comprises decompressing the first data message.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the standard message format comprises a self-describing binary form.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

associating the first standard message with the first device; and

associating the second standard message with the second device.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising aggregating the first standard message and the second standard message into a group of messages associated with a common trip.

12. A method of aggregating data from vehicle devices, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of data messages associated with a vehicle;

analyzing the plurality of data messages to determine if the data messages are associated with a common trip; and

creating a first message group comprising a first subset of the plurality of data messages associated with a first trip.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising creating a second message group comprising a second subset of the plurality of data messages associated with a second trip.

14. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

analyzing the plurality of data messages to determine if the data messages represent duplicative data; and

deleting one of the plurality of data messages if the one of the plurality of data messages is duplicative of another of the plurality of data messages.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein analyzing the plurality of data messages to determine if the data messages are associated with a common trip comprises analyzing engine state data, wherein data messages associated with one engine on state are associated with the common trip.

16. The method of claim 12, further comprising storing the first message group in a database.

17. The method of claim 12, further comprising storing the first message group in a queue for later processing.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein the plurality of data messages comprise normalized data messages.

19. A system for normalizing data from vehicle devices, comprising:

a computer system, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory comprises logic for;

receiving a first data message in a first message format from a first device;

receiving a second data message in a second message format from a second device, wherein the second message format is different than the first message format;

converting the first data message into a first standard message in a standard message format; and

converting the second data message into a second standard message in the standard message format.

20. A computer readable medium comprising logic for:

receiving a first data message in a first message format from a first device;

receiving a second data message in a second message format from a second device, wherein the second message format is different than the first message format;

converting the first data message into a first standard message in a standard message format; and

converting the second data message into a second standard message in the standard message format.

21. A system for a game-based driving performance application, comprising:

means for receiving a first data message in a first message format from a first device means;

means for receiving a second data message in a second message format from a second device means, wherein the second message format is different than the first message format;

means for converting the first data message into a first standard message in a standard message format; and

means for converting the second data message into a second standard message in the standard message format.
