7 respectively although some vehicle derived inputs such as vin and speed may be absent in this embodiment such losses may be partially overcome by other factors for example 1 user 39 s ability to determine if the in vehicle device was unplugged and moved to another vehicle through vin continuity would be overcome by the increased difficulty in removing and reinstalling a non obdii interface system and 2 loss of speed information from the vehicle could be overcome by reliance on gps location information other than the additional installation and configuration effort this embodiment would be materially similar to the above upgrade of an obdii compliant automobile embodiment in the example on line embodiments of the present invention the in vehicle device 620 is equipped with a network enabled cellular modem 710 that allows for real time communication with the remote information management system 660 i e continuous uploading of logged data instead of just periodic uploading if the system user account is configured for u201c real time tracking u201d the remote information management system 660 can provide real time tracking of vehicle location vehicle operational status and wireless device activity and in turn provide the system user with real time alerts and monitoring capabilities the system users can also have the options of receiving real time email text or voice alerts per their account configuration for informational purposes note that the obdii on line embodiments of the present invention provide many desirable vehicle monitoring and communication capabilities in addition to the above discussed detecting identifying reporting and discouraging unsafe wireless device use the additional vehicle monitoring capabilities include the detection and logging of 1 seat belt use 2 u2018 check engine light u2019 notification.
