Vehicle-event application notifications

This invention describes a system that sends special notifications to a passenger's phone when their vehicle is involved in a collision. It uses sensors in the car or on the phone to detect the crash, then determines the type of alert to send based on the phone's state, such as whether it's facing the passenger or if the car door hasn't been opened after a set time. These alerts are designed to get the passenger's attention quickly after an accident.

Why it matters: Since 2021, smartphone operating systems have matured their APIs for critical and emergency notifications, making it easier for vehicle-integrated applications to reliably supersede other device operations. Additionally, vehicle-to-device communication protocols have become more robust, simplifying the data exchange needed for this system.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, vehicle integration, OS-level notifications.
