1. A method for identifying at least one mobile terminal travelling in a vehicle comprising a connected device, the method comprising:

  • initializing a list of identifiers (IDs) of at least one candidate mobile terminal currently travelling in the vehicle;

    obtaining a current first position of the connected device and a current second position of the at least one candidate mobile terminal;

    comparing the current first position and the current second position so as to determine whether the current first and second positions match; and

    iteratively refining the list of IDs depending on the match of the current first and second positions by repeating the obtaining and comparing until a predetermined condition is met, wherein;

    the predetermined condition to be met is a predetermined number of iterations during which the list remains unchanged; and

    the iteratively refining the list of IDs comprises removing an ID from the list of candidate mobile terminals responsive to the current first position of the connected device not matching the second position of the at least one candidate mobile terminal.
