Abstract
A mobile telecommunications device configured to log driving information associated with a vehicle is described. The mobile telecommunications device comprises: a sensor set comprising an image sensor and at least one of an audio sensor, an accelerometer or a positioning module, or a combination thereof; a user interface; a processor; and a memory. The mobile telecommunications device is configured to: determine, based on the inputs received by the user interface and sensor data from the device's sensor set, a start of a driving period during which the mobile device is removably affixed to the vehicle and the vehicle is in use, wherein the start of the driving period is determined without data from sensors of the vehicle; process the sensor data from the sensor set during the driving period to derive driving information associated with how the vehicle is driven; and store a selection of the driving information to the memory. The driving information comprises images captured by the image sensor and the mobile telecommunications device is controlled by a downloaded application to process the captured images to make a safety determination for the vehicle and in response to making an u…
