  • Patent number: 11312299
    Abstract: A wearable device is provided that includes a receiver, a processor, and a transducer. The receiver is configured to receive speed limit data indicative of a posted speed limit corresponding to a route or road upon which the wearable device is traveling. The processor is configured to compare the speed limit to a current speed of the wearable device and/or a vehicle in which the user wearing the wearable device is driving. The transducer is configured to deliver a haptic or other notification to a user upon which the wearable device is worn when the current speed exceeds the speed limit or exceeds the speed limit by a predetermined amount. As a result, safer driving and vehicle collision avoidance may be facilitated. Safe driving auto insurance discounts may be provided to drivers that use the safe driving or speed limit warning functionality discussed herein.

  • Patent number: 10112535
    Abstract: A server computing device may receive current speed data associated with a current speed of a wearable notification device from a first device, retrieve speed limit data indicative of a speed limit corresponding to a path upon which the wearable notification device is travelling, compare the current speed data to the speed limit data, and/or transmit a notification signal to the wearable notification device when the current speed exceeds the speed limit. The wearable notification device may translate the notification signal into a physical action having an intensity that varies as a function of a difference between the current speed and the speed limit. As a result, safer driving and vehicle collision avoidance may be facilitated. Safe driving auto insurance discounts may be provided to drivers that use the safe driving or speed limit warning functionality discussed herein.
