Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining an indication of a location of a first device in a vehicle is presented. A determination may be made of when a second device in the vehicle transmits a signal. When the second device transmits the signal, an indication of a direction of orientation of the first device may be determined. The indication of the direction of orientation of the first device may be affected by the signal being transmitted by the second device. The indication of the location of the first device in the vehicle may be determined based on an indication of a direction of motion of the vehicle and the indication of the direction of orientation of the first device. The indication of the location of the first device may include an indication of whether the first device is associated with a driver seat of the vehicle.
