Claim 13:
14. A method by smart mobility platform including: a mobile application executing on a mobile device, an authentication server, a mobile application server, and a driving telemetry service, the method comprising:
the mobile application executing on the mobile device registering a user of the mobile device with the mobile application server and creating a user's account, for driving monitoring and rewards;
the mobile application requesting activation of the user's account with said driving telemetry service;
upon successful activation, the mobile application requesting enablement of trip detection by invoking a trip detection and scoring module, the mobile device having one or more of a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver, a three-axis accelerometer, a gyroscope and an electronic compass;
sending, by said trip detection and scoring module, driving telemetry data and mobile device interaction data collected via the mobile device indicative of interaction with the mobile device during operation of a motor vehicle for a trip, in raw form, to said driving telemetry service;
storing said driving telemetry data and the mobile device interaction data for the trip in a database of the mobile application server;
determining driver distraction from the mobile device interaction data by determining one or more of:
whether the mobile device is handled by the driver while driving;
whether a screen of the mobile device is touched by the driver while driving;
whether notifications on the mobile device are disabled while driving; and
whether assisted driving is used;

the driving telemetry service deriving driving factors from said driving telemetry data, and sending said driving factors to the mobile application server;
the mobile application server deriving a safe driving score from said driving factors and the mobile device interaction data;
the mobile application server causing a push notification to be sent to said mobile application indicating the completion of deriving the safe driving score;
the mobile application receiving confirmation whether the user was a driver in said trip; and
if the user was not a driver, the trip detection and scoring module sends a message to the driving telemetry service indicating that the trip data be tagged accordingly;
the mobile application server:
providing a customer value based on the safe driving score and purchases made through the mobile application;
calculating a reward based on the customer value;
unlocking a badge on the mobile application based on use of the mobile application and demonstrated safe driving behavior as determined from the safe driving score; and
paying the reward to the driver based on the badge;
wherein each of the driving factors is given an associated weight when deriving the safe driving score, and the weight associated with each of the driving factors is determined at least in part on the driving telemetry data and the mobile device interaction data.
