Abstract
Short range wireless location and motion sensing devices and reporting methods are provided herein. An example device includes a housing configured to couple with a power port of a vehicle. The housing includes a wireless interface, a motion sensor that senses at least one of velocity, acceleration, and orientation of the vehicle, a processor and a memory that stores logic that is executed by the processor to receive motion signals from the motion sensor and transmit the motion signals on the wireless interface to a mobile device that is communicatively coupled with the wireless adapter.

A wireless adapter, comprising:
- a housing configured to couple with a power port of a vehicle, the housing comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- a motion sensor that senses at least one of velocity, acceleration, and orientation;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores logic that is executed by the processor to:
- receive motion signals from the motion sensor;
- and
- transmit the motion signals on the wireless interface to a mobile device that is communicatively coupled with the wireless adapter.
A system, comprising:
- a wireless adapter comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- a motion sensor that senses at least one of velocity, acceleration, and orientation;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores logic that is executed by the processor to:
- receive motion signals from the motion sensor;
- and
- transmit the motion signals on the wireless interface to a mobile device that is communicatively coupled with the wireless adapter;
- and
- a mobile device comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- a mobile device motion sensor that senses at least one of velocity, acceleration, and orientation;
- a location sensor that monitors a location of the mobile device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores logic that is executed by the processor to:
- receive the motion signals from the motion sensor of the wireless adapter and mobile device motion signals from the mobile device motion sensor;
- and
- transmit the motion signals from the motion sensor of the wireless adapter and the mobile device motion signals from the mobile device motion sensor on the wireless interface to an emergency response server with which the mobile device can communicatively couple.
