System and method for monitoring a former convict of an intoxication-related offense

Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for preventing a restricted individual from operating a motor vehicle. The system monitors a speed of the individual via a smart device associated with the individual. The system activates a monitoring function based on a detected speed of the device, which may evidence the individual riding in a motor vehicle. The system them verifies that the user of the device is the restricted individual through a variety of different identification methods. Once identified, the system accesses various data sources associated with one or more ride applications running on the smart device in order to determine whether the restricted individual has requested a ride from a third party during a relevant time period. After analyzing the data, a determination is made as to whether the individual is driving, or whether more information is needed.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A device, comprising:
 a memory that stores authentication information of a user and a travel restriction;   a speed sensor configured to detect a movement speed of the device; and   one or more processors configured to:
 detect that the movement speed of the device exceeds a predetermined threshold; and 
 activating a monitoring function in response to the detecting configured to verify that a restricted individual is not operating a motor vehicle. 
   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to verify a presence of a restricted individual in response to the detecting. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the verifying includes:
 transmitting a request to an external device for user authentication information;   receive, from the external device, a user identifier; and   verify an identify of the user as being the restricted individual based on the received user identifier.   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the verifying includes comparing the received user identifier to the stored authentication information. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
 in response to the verifying, obtain a location of the device;   compare the location to an acceptable location range; and   determine that the device is outside of the acceptable location range.   
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine whether the restricted individual is a driver or a passenger in the motor vehicle. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the determining includes accessing a ride-sharing, taxi, or other travel application running on the device. 
     
     
         9 . A method, comprising:
 detecting a movement speed of a device;   determining that the movement speed exceeds a predetermined threshold; and   activating a monitoring function in response to the detecting, the monitoring function configured to verify that a restricted individual is not operating a motor vehicle.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising verifying a presence of a restricted individual in response to the detecting. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the verifying includes:
 transmitting a request to an external device for user authentication information;   receiving, from the external device, a user identifier; and   verifying an identity of the user as being the restricted individual based on the received user identifier.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the verifying includes comparing the received user identifier to stored authentication information. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 in response to the verifying, obtaining a location of the device;   comparing the location to an acceptable location range; and   determining that the device is outside of the acceptable location range.   
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 11 , further comprising determining whether the restricted individual is a driver or a passenger in the motor vehicle. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the determining includes accessing a ride-sharing, taxi, or other travel application running on the device. 
     
     
         16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
 detect a movement speed of a device;   determine that the movement speed exceeds a predetermined threshold; and   activate a monitoring function in response to the detecting, the monitoring function configured to verify that a restricted individual is not operating a motor vehicle.   
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise verifying a presence of a restricted individual in response to the detecting. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 17 , wherein the verifying includes:
 transmitting a request to an external device for user authentication information;   receiving, from the external device, a user identifier; and   verifying an identity of the user as being the restricted individual based on the received user identifier.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the verifying includes comparing the received user identifier to stored authentication information. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 in response to the verifying, obtaining a location of the device;   comparing the location to an acceptable location range; and   determining that the device is outside of the acceptable location range.   
     
     
         21 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise determining whether the restricted individual is a driver or a passenger in the motor vehicle.
