Device determined bandwidth saving in transmission of events

Abstract

A system for transmitting a driving event comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a portion of data. The processor is configured to detect a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data; determine whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria, indicate that the driving event is not to be transmitted.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for transmitting a driving event, comprising:
 an interface configured to receive a portion of data; and   a processor configured to:
 detect a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data; 
 determine whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and 
 in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria,
 indicate by marking that the driving event is not to be transmitted. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein detecting the driving event uses a threshold increased or reduced based at least in part on event exceptions. 
     
     
         3 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 in the event that the driving event is indicated not to be transmitted:
 mark the driving event as allowed to be removed. 
   
     
     
         4 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 in the event that the driving event is indicated not to be transmitted:
 mark the driving event as not transmitted. 
   
     
     
         5 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 in the event that the driving event is indicated not to be transmitted:
 mark the driving event as deleted. 
   
     
     
         6 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 in the event that the driving event is not indicated not to be transmitted:
 transmit the driving event. 
   
     
     
         7 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria comprises checking location-specific legal information exceptions. 
     
     
         8 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria comprises checking customer-specific event exceptions. 
     
     
         9 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria comprises checking customer-specific region exceptions. 
     
     
         10 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to record a driving event. 
     
     
         11 . A system as in  claim 10 , wherein recording a driving event comprises recording video information or still picture information. 
     
     
         12 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a current segment. 
     
     
         13 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine subsegment information. 
     
     
         14 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 in the event that the driving event does not satisfy non-transmitting criteria, mark that the driving event has been checked against the exception database.   
     
     
         15 . A system as in  claim 14 , wherein the driving event is marked with an indication of a version or date of the exception database. 
     
     
         16 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the driving event includes an indication of a version or date of a location-specific legal information database. 
     
     
         17 . A system as in  claim 1 , wherein the non-transmitting criteria comprises an exception indication. 
     
     
         18 . A system as in  claim 17 , wherein the exception indication is based on a location specific legal data. 
     
     
         19 . A system as in  claim 18 , wherein the location specific legal data comprises one of the following: a speed limit error, a stop sign error, a parking zone error, or a railroad crossing error. 
     
     
         20 . A method for transmitting a driving event, comprising:
 receiving a portion of data;   detecting a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data;   determining, using a processor, whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and   in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria:
 indicating by marking that the driving event is not to be transmitted. 
   
     
     
         21 . A computer program product for transmitting a driving event, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
 receiving a portion of data;   detecting a driving event based at least in part on the portion of data;   determining whether the driving event satisfies a non-transmitting criteria; and   in the event that the driving event satisfies the non-transmitting criteria:
 indicating by marking that the driving event is not to be transmitted.
