Driver distraction detection and reporting

A method of detecting and classifying radio signals using a communication detection and classification apparatus, the method comprising:

• detecting a radio signal within a proximity to the communication detection and classification apparatus;
• storing the detected radio signal;
• analyzing the detected radio signal;
• and
• classifying a type of activity of the detected radio signal based on the analysis.

A system configured to detect and classify radio signals using a communication detection and classification apparatus, the system comprising:

• means for detecting a radio signal within a proximity to the communication detection and classification apparatus;
• means for storing the detected radio signal;
• means for analyzing the detected radio signal;
• and
• means for classifying a type of activity of the detected radio signal based on the analysis.
