Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for providing hour-of-service (“HOS”) calculations via a web based host server instead of on an onboard mobile device. In the various embodiments, an onboard vehicle recording device and driver-carried mobile devices may operate independently. The onboard vehicle recording device and driver-carried mobile device(s) may exchange information independently with a host server rather than exchanging information together onboard the vehicle.
Claims20
A method of associating a driver with a particular vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, in a server from a vehicle data reporting device, an odometer reading for the particular vehicle;
- receiving, in the server from a driver computing device, a message including a driver-entered odometer reading;
- comparing the odometer reading received from the vehicle data reporting device to the odometer reading received from the driver computing device;
- and
- associating the driver with the particular vehicle when the two odometer readings match.

A server, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a vehicle data reporting device, an odometer reading for a particular vehicle;
- means for receiving, from a driver computing device, a message including a driver-entered odometer reading;
- means for comparing the odometer reading received from the vehicle data reporting device to the odometer reading received from the computing device;
- and
- means for associating a driver with the particular vehicle when the two odometer readings match.
2 more elements
A server, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communication with a communication network;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a vehicle data reporting device, an odometer reading for a particular vehicle via the first transceiver;
- receiving, from a driver computing device, a message including a driver-entered odometer reading via the first transceiver;
- comparing the odometer reading received from the vehicle data reporting device to the odometer reading received from the computing device;
- and
- associating a driver with the particular vehicle when the two odometer readings match.
