Systems and methods for mobile mileage tracking
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for automatic mileage tracking using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- establishing, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a wireless connection between the mobile device and a vehicle;
after establishing the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, executing, by one or more processors of the mobile device, mileage tracking to determine a total mileage for a current trip;
defining, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a trip type for the current trip based on (i) a time period in which the current trip occurs and (ii) a user-specific set of trip categorization rules that specifies one or more time periods designated for one or more respective trip types; and
one or both of(i) displaying to a user, by one or more processors of the mobile device, the total mileage for the current trip and an indication of the trip type defined for the current trip, and(ii) submitting via a network, by one or more processors of the mobile device and for storage in a database, the total mileage for the current trip and the indication of the trip type defined for the current trip.

Abstract
A method for automatic mileage tracking using a mobile device may include establishing a wireless connection between the mobile device and a vehicle, and executing mileage tracking to determine a total mileage for a current trip. The method may also include defining a trip type for the current trip based on (i) a time period in which the current trip occurs and (ii) a user-specific set of trip categorization rules that specifies one or more time periods designated for one or more respective trip types. The method may further include displaying the total mileage for the current trip to the user along with an indication of the trip type defined for the current trip, and/or submitting via a network, for storage in a database, the total mileage and the indication of the trip type.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-readable instructions to be executed on one or more processors of a mobile device for automatic mileage tracking, the instructions when executed causing the one or more processors to:
-
establish a wireless connection between the mobile device and a vehicle; after establishing the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, execute mileage tracking to determine a total mileage for a current trip; define a trip type for the current trip based on (i) a time period in which the current trip occurs and (ii) a user-specific set of trip categorization rules that specifies one or more time periods designated for one or more respective trip types; and one or both of (i) display to a user the total mileage for the current trip and an indication of the trip type defined for the current trip, and (ii) submit via a network, for storage in a database, the total mileage for the current trip and the indication of the trip type defined for the current trip. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A mobile device comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile device to; establish a wireless connection between the mobile device and a vehicle; after establishing the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, execute mileage tracking to determine a total mileage for a current trip; define a trip type for the current trip based on (i) a time period in which the current trip occurs and (ii) a user-specific set of trip categorization rules that specifies one or more time periods designated for one or more respective trip types; and one or both of (i) display to a user the total mileage for the current trip and an indication of the trip type defined for the current trip, and (ii) submit via a network, for storage in a database, the total mileage for the current trip and the indication of the trip type defined for the current trip. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
