SYSTEM TO DETECT VEHICLE TRACKING DEVICE
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240406681 titled 'SYSTEM TO DETECT VEHICLE TRACKING DEVICE
Original Abstract Submitted
methods of detecting that a vehicle tracking device is tracking humans includes determining whether the vehicle tracking device has been removed from its linked vehicle; determining whether the vehicle tracking device is being used to track a human; and alerting when determined that the vehicle tracking device is tracking humans. methods may determine if a weighted score is greater than a threshold and alerting: an owner of the vehicle tracking device; setting off an audio alert on the vehicle tracking device; or notifying authorities. methods may detect human movement by detecting steep elevation changes; detecting acceleration data consistent human movement; or detecting movement that is not a road. methods may determine if the vehicle tracking device is with a different vehicle or building by: detecting the different vehicle's hotspot; detecting the building's wi-fi; or detecting gps movement that matches the different vehicle's gps movement.
