說明書
In a second aspect of the present invention, a device for collecting and transmitting operational data about a vehicle to a mobile device located within the vehicle includes (a) a housing mounted to the vehicle, and (b) a power supply contained within the housing and adapted to provide power to electronic components contained within the housing. Preferably, the electronic components include: (i) a microprocessor, (ii) memory in electronic communication with the microprocessor and configured to store the operational data, (iii) an accelerometer for detecting movement of the vehicle, the detected movement being converted by the microprocessor into an acceleration value stored as one of the operational data in the memory, and (iv) a data transmission module, controlled by the microprocessor and configured to retrieve the operational data from the memory and to transmit the retrieved operational data to the mobile device.
In a feature, the housing is mounted within the vehicle in proximity to a central axis of the vehicle, the central axis extending generally between a driver space and a front passenger space within the vehicle. In one embodiment, the housing is mounted on the inside surface of the front windshield of the vehicle. In another embodiment, the housing is permanently built or installed into the vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer by an aftermarket vendor.
