Title: Method and System for Detecting a Person Driving a Vehicle while Using a Mobile Computing Device
Description: In a method and system for detecting a person driving a vehicle while using a mobile computing device, first and second movement patterns are detected by means of the mobile computing device, said first movement pattern being attributable to a movement of a vehicle and said second movement pattern being attributable to a person using the mobile computing device. A relation is established between said first movement pattern and said second movement pattern, and based on said relation it is determined whether said person is driving said vehicle while using said mobile computing device. Detecting said first movement pattern and/or second movement pattern may comprise a step of detecting a linear and/or gravitational acceleration by means of an acceleration sensor unit. The first and second movement patterns can be any type of movement or motion detected by the mobile computing device, such as a single isolated movement or a sequence of movements that may be characteristic of a driving scenario or a person using the mobile phone while driving.
