Wireless Communication Devices

A wireless communication device installable in a vehicle, comprising:

• a processor arranged to:
• determine an ignition state of the vehicle, wherein said ignition state includes at least an ignition ‘on’ state;
• define a time window based on a time at which the vehicle is determined to be in the ignition ‘on’ state;
• assign a type to a trip to be made by the vehicle, wherein the trip is of a first type when input data indicative of an input by a user on an input device operatively connected to the wireless communication device is received in the defined time window, and is otherwise of a second type;
• generate a message, at least for trips of the first type, indicating the type assigned to the trip;
• and
• a wireless transmitter for communicating with a remote device, wherein the wireless transmitter is arranged to wirelessly transmit the generated message to the remote device.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a wireless communication device installed in a vehicle, cause the wireless communication device to perform a method for transmitting data indicative of trips made by the vehicle to a remote device, the method comprising:

• determining an ignition state of the vehicle, wherein said ignition state includes at least an ignition ‘on’ state;
• defining a time window based on a time at which the vehicle is determined to be in the ignition ‘on’ state;
• assigning a type to a trip to be made by the vehicle, wherein the trip is of a first type when input data indicative of an input by a user on an input device operatively connected to the wireless communication device is received in the defined time window, and is otherwise of a second type;
• generating a message, at least for trips of the first type, indicating the type assigned to the trip;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting the generated message to the remote device.
