  • Patent number: 10600126
    Abstract: Client side and server side methods for combining data originating from an On Board Diagnostics (OBD) cap with data originating from a client computing device are presented. The method includes receiving, from a client computing device via a computer network, a plurality of OBD cap data originating from an OBD cap and receiving, from the client computing device via the computer network, a plurality of client computing device data originating from the client computing device. The method also includes selecting, at a processor, a first data parameter from the plurality of OBD cap data and selecting, at the processor, a second data parameter from the plurality of client computing device data. The method further includes analyzing, at the processor, the first data parameter and the second data parameter and flagging, at the processor, an insurance account associated with the OBD device as a result of the analysis.

  • Publication number: 20150046197
    Abstract: A method for using a mobile device arranged within a vehicle to provide risk analysis for a driver of the vehicle includes receiving sensor data representing information (i) collected by a sensor of the mobile device and (ii) indicative of a driving environment of the vehicle, storing the received sensor data in a memory, processing the stored sensor data to determine a set of one or more characteristics of the driving environment of the vehicle, and determining, based on the determined set of characteristics, a driving score indicative of risk for the driver of the vehicle.
