Systems and methods for determining and displaying a route using information determined from a vehicle, user feedback, and a mobile electronic device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a route of a vehicle during a trip, comprising:
- (a) obtaining sensor information from the vehicle;
(b) obtaining position information from the vehicle using a global positioning system (GPS) component;
(c) calculating using one or more programmed computer processors a route of the vehicle based at least in part on (i) the position information using the GPS component and (ii) sensor information without the position information for portions of the trip in which the GPS component is not available or accurate; and
(d) providing the route calculated in (c) to a user onboard the vehicle during the trip to confirm or correct one or more portions of the route calculated using the sensor information; and
(e) receiving confirmation or correction, from user input, of the one or more portions of the route calculated using the sensor information.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for determined a route or distance traveled of a vehicle. A computer-implemented method for determining a route of a vehicle during a trip comprises obtaining sensor information from a vehicle and obtaining position information from the vehicle using a global positioning system (GPS) component. Next, a route of the vehicle may be determined based at least in part on the position information and route information provided by a user onboard the vehicle during the trip. For portions of the trip in which the GPS component is not available or accurate, at least a portion of a corresponding route segment may be determined using the sensor information without the position information.

13. A method for determining a route driven by a vehicle over a period of time, comprising:
-
(a) receiving vehicle data from one or more sensors, wherein the vehicle data comprises sensor data over the period of time; (b) processing the sensor data to obtain one or more data points from the period of time; (c) using a computer processor to model the one or more data points to calculate the route driven by the vehicle over the period of time; and (d) providing the route calculated in (c) to a user onboard the vehicle during the trip to determine one or more errors with the route; and (e) receiving user input indicating one or more errors with the route calculated in (c). - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine executable code that, upon execution by one or more computer processors, implements a method for determining a route of a vehicle during a trip, the method comprising:
-
(a) obtaining sensor information from the vehicle; (b) obtaining position information from the vehicle using a global positioning system (GPS) component; and (c) calculating a route of the vehicle based at least in part on (i) the position information using the GPS component and (ii) sensor information without the position information for portions of the trip in which the GPS component is not available or accurate; and (d) providing the route calculated in (c) to a user onboard the vehicle during trip to confirm or correct one or more portions of the route calculated using the sensor information; and (e) receiving confirmation or correction, from user input, of the one or more portions of the route calculated using the sensor information.
