Abstract

Incidents may be detected and reported based on changes in sensor data from a device. Trigger data from a trigger device in a vehicle may be received over a communication network. An incident report may be generated based on the trigger data. The incident report may comprise driver information of a driver of the vehicle. A user account of the driver in a ride sharing application may be blocked.

Claims (57)

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:

receiving, over a communication network, trigger data from a trigger device in a vehicle,

wherein the trigger data comprises a phrase set by a driver or a phrase associated with a crime, and

wherein content of the phrase is recognized based on a speech analysis technique;

generating an incident report based on the trigger data, the incident report comprising driver information of a driver of the vehicle; and

blocking a user account of the driver in a ride sharing application.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger device comprises a phone of the driver of the vehicle.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the trigger data comprises phone sensor data from the phone of the driver.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein generating an incident report based on the trigger data comprises:

comparing the phone sensor data to standard conditions;

determining, in response to the comparison, that an incident has occurred; and

generating the incident report for the incident.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger data comprises an activation or deactivation of the trigger device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein blocking the user account of the driver prevents the driver from appearing to riders in the ride sharing application.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:

determining that a passenger was in the vehicle at a time at which the trigger data was obtained; and

blocking a second user account of the passenger in the ride sharing application.

8. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the trigger device is disposed within a first area of the vehicle that is invisible to a passenger of the vehicle; and

wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:

controlling a camera disposed within a second area of the vehicle over the communication network in response to receiving the trigger data, the controlling causing the camera to capture sensor information of the passenger of the vehicle;

determining passenger information of the passenger of the vehicle in response to receiving the trigger data; and

generating an alert notification, the alert notification comprising at least a portion of the sensor information of the passenger information, the alert notification being capable of initiating one or more incident actions associated with the passenger.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving, over a communication network, trigger data from a trigger device in a vehicle,

wherein the trigger data comprises a phrase set by a driver or a phrase associated with a crime, and

wherein content of the phrase is recognized based on a speech analysis technique;

generating an incident report based on the trigger data, the incident report comprising driver information of a driver of the vehicle; and

blocking a user account of the driver in a ride sharing application.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the trigger device comprises a phone of the driver of the vehicle.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the trigger data comprises phone sensor data from the phone of the driver.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein generating an incident report based on the trigger data comprises:

comparing the phone sensor data to standard conditions;

determining, in response to the comparison, that an incident has occurred; and

generating the incident report for the incident.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the trigger data comprises an activation or deactivation of the trigger device.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein blocking the user account of the driver prevents the driver from appearing to riders in the ride sharing application.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to:

determining that a passenger was in the vehicle at a time at which the trigger data was obtained; and

blocking a second user account of the passenger in the ride sharing application.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the trigger device is disposed within a first area of the vehicle that is invisible to a passenger of the vehicle, further comprising:

controlling a camera disposed within a second area of the vehicle over the communication network in response to receiving the trigger data, the controlling causing the camera to capture sensor information of the passenger of the vehicle;

determining passenger information of the passenger of the vehicle in response to receiving the trigger data; and

generating an alert notification, the alert notification comprising at least a portion of the sensor information of the passenger, the alert notification being capable of initiating one or more incident actions associated with the passenger.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured with instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, over a communication network, trigger data from a trigger device in a vehicle wherein the trigger data comprises a phrase set by a driver or a phrase associated with a crime, and

wherein content of the phrase is recognized based on a speech analysis technique;

generating an incident report based on the trigger data, the incident report comprising driver information of a driver of the vehicle; and

blocking a user account of the driver in a ride sharing application.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the trigger device comprises a phone of the driver of the vehicle.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the trigger data comprises phone sensor data from the phone of the driver.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein generating an incident report based on the trigger data comprises:

comparing the phone sensor data to standard conditions;

determining, in response to the comparison, that an incident has occurred; and

generating the incident report for the incident.
