Abstract

See full text

Mobile devices are each associated with a respective toll account and are also configured to periodically report their location and related information while traveling in a vehicle, which is used to determine any applicable toll fees. In order to avoid assessing the toll fee to each account, a server of a tolling service first identifies mobile devices that are traveling together based on the location information, and then determines which of the mobile devices, if any, has indicated that it is connected to the vehicle audio system. The account associated with the mobile device connected to the vehicle audio system will be assessed the full toll fee, and the accounts associated with the other mobile devices will not be charged. If there is no indication of being connected to the vehicle audio system, then the location information is used to correlate the mobile devices with a license plate image taken at a tolling location, and the account associated with the license plate number will be assessed the toll fee.
