Abstract
An approach for the reliable detection of smartphones within vehicles. The cloud instructs two smartphones, which both detect an in-vehicle detection system, to report signals that reflect major sensor events, together with the timing using their respective clocks. By sending local clock timing and time-sensitive beacon content information to the cloud, the offset between the two smartphone clocks may be determined, thereby enhancing the reliability of the in-vehicle detection of the smartphones.
