Abstract
Technologies for mitigating vehicular crime includes a server and an in-vehicle device configured to monitor a vehicle. The server receives present trip information of a mobile device of a user of the vehicle. The server monitors the vehicle and surroundings of the vehicle. Upon detection of anomalous activity at the vehicle and the surroundings, the server transmits the present trip information to one or more alert recipient entities. The server records the present trip information of the user in a blockchain.
Claims17
A system for mitigating occurrences of vehicular crime, the system comprising:
- an in-vehicle device comprising:
- a plurality of audio and video sensors for capturing audiovisual data and surroundings of a vehicle, wherein the in-vehicle device is integrated with telematics equipment of the vehicle;
- a server comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed on the one or more processors, causes the server to:
- receive present trip information of a mobile device of a user of the vehicle;
- monitor the vehicle and the surroundings of the vehicle based on the audiovisual data and the surroundings captured by the in-vehicle device;
- upon detection of anomalous activity at the vehicle and the surroundings, transmit the present trip information to one or more alert recipient entities;
- and
- record the present trip information of the user in a blockchain;
- and
- a personal alert device of the user configured to transmit alert signals to one or more devices, wherein the personal alert device is wirelessly connected with the in-vehicle device, the server, and the mobile device,
- wherein the plurality of instructions further causes the server to:
- receive an alert signal from the personal alert device, the alert signal transmitted in response to an activation of the personal alert device by the user;
- and
- transmit the present trip information to one or more alert recipient entities.
A method for mitigating occurrences of vehicular crime, comprising:
- receiving present trip information of a mobile device of a user of the vehicle;
- monitoring the vehicle and surroundings of the vehicle via an in-vehicle device comprising a plurality of audio and video sensors for capturing audiovisual data and the surroundings, wherein the in-vehicle device is integrated with telematics equipment of the vehicle;
- receiving an alert signal from a personal alert device associated with the user;
- upon detecting anomalous activity at the vehicle and the surroundings and in response to receiving the alert signal from the personal alert device, transmit the present trip information to one or more alert recipient entities, wherein the alert signal is transmitted in response to an activation of the personal alert device by the user;
- and
- recording the present trip information of the user in a blockchain.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing a plurality of instructions, which, when executed on one or more processors, causes a server to:
- receive present trip information of a mobile device of a user of the vehicle;
- monitor the vehicle and surroundings of the vehicle via an in-vehicle device comprising a plurality of audio and video sensors for capturing audiovisual data and the surroundings, wherein the in-vehicle device is integrated with telematics equipment of the vehicle;
- receive an alert signal from a personal alert device associated with the user;
- upon detection of anomalous activity at the vehicle and the surroundings and in response to receiving the alert signal from the personal alert device, transmit the present trip information to one or more alert recipient entities, wherein the alert signal is transmitted in response to an activation of the personal alert device by the user;
- and
- record the present trip information of the user in a blockchain.
