Patent number: 11259145Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products to detect distracted driving are disclosed. A mobile device is associated with a vehicle driver. Suspect activity associated with the vehicle driver is detected based at least in part on mobile device use data collected by the mobile device. A suspect activity record is generated comprising mobile device use data associated with the detected suspect activity. The suspect activity record and an identifier of the vehicle driver are provided to a repository.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: OCTO ADVISORY INC.Inventors: Richard W. Fischer, Jonathan R. Fischer, William A. Ricaurte

Patent number: 10484825Abstract: A method and system for detecting unsafe or suspect activities such as distracted driving associates distracted driving events to the road type, vehicle speed and vehicle acceleration (positive, negative and lateral) at the time of the distracted driving event, and identifies severe distracted driving events from a large population of minor events using a statistical distribution such as a Cauchy distribution equation. The system employs a smartphone application (App) coupled with a central server that computes driver safety scores which relate time of day, road type, vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration (positive, negative and lateral) and distracted driving using the Cauchy distribution equation. The server renders summary and detail reports of driving scores and distracted driving events to concerned parties including insurance companies, fleet managers, vehicle owners and the parents/guardians of teenaged drivers.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Octo Advisory Inc.Inventors: Richard W. Fischer, Jonathan R. Fischer, William A. Ricaurte
