Abstract
A device, system and method notifying a selected recipient that a driver of a vehicle has exceeded a posted speed limit. The process includes receiving an indication of a violation from a computing device located in the vehicle, wherein the indication includes information about the vehicle. The indication is received in response to the computing device determining that the driver of the vehicle committed the violation based on the information about the vehicle and the posted speed limit associated with a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling. The process further includes instantly sending a notification to the selected recipient in response indication, wherein the notification indicates that the driver of the vehicle has committed the violation.
Claims20
A method of notifying a selected recipient that a driver of a vehicle has exceeded a posted speed limit, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a violation from a computing device located in the vehicle, wherein the indication includes information about the vehicle and the indication is received in response to the computing device determining that the driver of the vehicle committed the violation based on the information about the vehicle and the posted speed limit associated with a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling;
- and
- instantly sending a notification to the selected recipient in response to the indication, wherein the notification indicates that the driver of the vehicle has committed the violation.
A computing system to notify a selected recipient that a driver of a vehicle has exceeded a posted speed limit, comprising:
- a communication interface that is communicatively coupled to a computing device located in the vehicle;
- and
- one or more processors that are communicatively coupled to the communication interface, wherein the one or more processors are collectively configured to:
- receive, using the communication interface, an indication of a violation from the computing device located in the vehicle, wherein the indication includes information about the vehicle and is received in response to the computing device determining that the driver of the vehicle committed the violation based on the information about the vehicle and the posted speed limit associated with a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling, and
- instantly send, using the communication interface, a notification to the selected recipient in response to the indication, wherein the notification indicates that the driver of the vehicle has committed the violation.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that notifies a selected recipient that a driver of a vehicle has exceeded a posted speed limit, in response to execution by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform actions comprising:
- receiving, an indication of a violation from a computing device located in the vehicle, wherein the indication includes information about the vehicle and the indication is received in response to the computing device determining that the driver of the vehicle committed the violation based on the information about the vehicle and the posted speed limit associated with a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling;
- and
- instantly sending a notification to the selected recipient in response to the indication, wherein the notification indicates that the driver of the vehicle has committed the violation.
