Abstract
An ignition interlock system.
Claims20
An ignition system that includes an ignition interlock device comprising:
- (a) said ignition interlock device including a first interconnection suitable to selectively inhibit an ignition of a vehicle;
- (b) said ignition interlock device including a sensor suitable to sense a breath of a user and in response said selectively inhibiting said ignition of said vehicle;
- (c) said ignition interlock device receiving configuration information from a wireless connection;
- (d) said ignition interlock device providing a plurality of geographic locations of said ignition interlock device over time to an associated portal operating on a computing device accessible through said wireless connection;
- (e) said portal including a geofence management module that defines one or more geofences for said ignition interlock device that defines one or more geographic regions associated with said interlock device;
- (f) said portal configured to:
- (i) receive user input data to establish one or more arbitrarily chosen temporary geofences,
- (ii) receive user input data to establish one or more permanent geofences, modify one or more existing geofences, remove one or more existing geofences,
- (iii) receive user input data to establish one or more time frames,
- (iv) receive user input data to modify one or more existing time frames, and
- (v) receive user input data to remove one or more existing time frames,
- said portal configured to send selected said user input data to said interlock device through said wireless connection;
- (g) said portal including a restricted driving module that determines whether any of said plurality of geographic locations are outside any of said geographic regions associated with said interlock device;
- (h) said restricted driving module signaling a violation of any of said geographic regions based upon any of said plurality of geographic locations being determined to be outside said one or more geographic regions, and signaling a violation of said time frames based upon a change in said geographic locations outside of said time windows.
