  • Using passive driver identification and other input for providing real-time alerts or actions
    Patent number: 9679210
    Abstract: A system for providing real-time alerts or actions comprises an image capturing device and a processor and a memory. The image capturing device is for capturing an image during vehicle operation and of an expected driver location. The processor is configured to: 1) detect a face of a driver in the image; 2) determine a set of face data from the image; and 3) determine authentication based at least in part on the set of face data. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

  • Passive driver identification
    Patent number: 9501690
    Abstract: A system for passive driver identification comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive a collection of face data from a vehicle event recorder. The processor is configured to 1) determine a set of face data of the collection of face data that is associated with a trip; 2) determine a first album associated with the trip, wherein the set of face data associated with the trip is similar to face data of other trips in the first album, and wherein the set of face data associated with the trip is dissimilar to face data of a set of trips in a second album; and 3) assign an identifier that associates the trip to the first album.
