Abstract: Device (100) for reporting meter indication (160) for a movable machine or vehicle (150), comprising means for reading of one or more meter indications (210) for the movable machine or vehicle (150) via optical imaging with a camera, means for determination of an identity (220) of the movable machine or vehicle (150), means for determination of an identity (230) of a reporter (120), means for determination of a time (250) for the reading of one or more meter indications (210), means for determination of a position (240) of the movable machine or vehicle (150) at this time (250), means for checking of the identity (220) of the movable machine or vehicle (150) and the identity (230) of the reporter (120) against a list of approved identities and means for transfer of one or more meter indications (210), the identity (220) of the movable machine or vehicle (150), the identity (230) of the reporter (120), the time (250) and the position (240) to a central server (60).

Abstract: A method for obtaining activity rate of a portable electronic device (250) during travel with a vehicle (200) comprises determining (S100) a calculated driving distance based on the portable electronic device utilizing a sequence of measured positions for the portable electronic device. The method further comprises determining (S200) a read driving distance by reading of odometer indication (270) of the vehicle. The method also comprises calculating (S300) an activity rate by comparison of the calculated driving distance with the read driving distance. The method further comprises calculating (S400) a flag which indicates the validity of the calculated activity rate, where the flag is calculated based on the sequence of measured positions for the portable electronic device. The method also comprises transferring (S500) an information packet (280) to a central server (290), where the information packet comprises the activity rate, and/or the read driving distance, and/or the flag.
