  • Patent number: 9599633
    Abstract: The present application provides a system, method and non-transitory computer readable medium for mounting angle estimation and compensation for in-vehicle devices with an accelerometer sensor. In example embodiments, a two phased calibration starts with the vehicle parked on a horizontal surface and uses averaging to obtain mean value estimates of the force due to gravity on each directly coupled accelerometer sensor axis. These mean value estimates are used to perform an axes reassignment, if necessary, and to estimate the pitch and roll mounting angles. The calibration is completed by estimating the yaw mounting angle while the vehicle is driven. The yaw estimate is based on acceleration data in the vehicle's x-y plane that is accumulated when the amplitude is above a threshold. The accumulation includes a sign change if forward deceleration is indicated.

  • Patent number: 9290145
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method that provides a standardized and portable automatic emergency event notification, or AEEN, device which detects a vehicle or other transport emergency event and then automatically and directly dials 911 emergency services and further provides the 911 operator with important information pertaining to the emergency event. Ordinary transport owners may readily install the AEEN device of the present invention into their vehicle or other transport. The AEEN device does not involve a subscription service and the device cellphone which places the 911 call does not require activation on a wireless service network.

  • Publication number: 20130238184
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium comprised of in-vehicle passive monitoring and information management system elements which together detect, identify, report and discourage unsafe wireless device use by the operator of a vehicle. An in-vehicle monitoring device determines the vehicle's operational state and location, identifies wireless device transmitter emissions within the vehicle and communicates to a remote information management system in real-time using a wireless network, or after-the-fact, using a locally-installed software version of the information management system. The information management system collects information retrieved from in-vehicle devices and correlates this information with other database information to provide users with timely alerts, tracking, and records of unsafe wireless device use.
