Abstract
One example method of operation may include identifying a vehicle collision event via one or more sensors disposed in one or more sensor circuits affixed to a vehicle body of a vehicle via one or more multi-layered removable stickers, responsive to identifying the vehicle collision event, identifying vehicle collision event data including a geolocation of the vehicle and a timestamp of the vehicle collision event, and storing, in a wirelessly accessible memory of the one or more sensor circuits, the vehicle collision event data received during the vehicle collision event.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- identifying a vehicle collision event via one or more sensors disposed in one or more sensor circuits of a multi-layered removable sticker affixed to an external vehicle body;
- responsive to detecting a point of impact via the one or more sensors, determining a phase difference, based on distances of the one or more sensors with respect to the point of impact, measured from one accelerometer and one or more additional accelerometers disposed in corners of the multi-layered removable sticker;
- and
- responsive to identifying the vehicle collision event, storing vehicle collision event data comprising a geolocation of the vehicle and a timestamp of the vehicle collision event in a wirelessly accessible memory of the one or more sensor circuits.

An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor enabled circuit, comprising one or more sensors, a wirelessly accessible memory and a processor, wherein the sensor enabled circuit is disposed in a multi-layered removable sticker affixed to an external vehicle body of a vehicle and is configured to identify a vehicle collision event via the one or more sensors,
- responsive to detection of a point of impact via the one or more sensors, the processor is configured to
- determine a phase difference, based on distances of the one or more sensors with respect to the point of impact, measured from one accelerometer and one or more additional accelerometers disposed in corners of the multi-layered removable sticker;
- and
- responsive to the vehicle collision event being identified, store the vehicle collision event data comprising a geolocation of the vehicle and a timestamp of the vehicle collision event in the wirelessly accessible memory.
